Dec 16	comment	When is it appropriate to address a lady as 先生？ Well, I doubt it in Beijing. I'm still in college, and often visits other colleges or institutions, but seldom heard any teacher/professor called "先生" (male or female).
Dec 16	comment	When is it appropriate to address a lady as 先生？ At lease not in Beijing. Teachers are always called "老师", even for college professors. They will not be called "先生". The only situation I hear this use of "先生" is in formal situations to show respect.

Dec 14	comment	Should Chinese text be grid aligned in game dialogs? @juckele Yes, they would better be dropped into the right boundary. However, I don't think it matters much in a game. The enumeration comma (I think your meena "、") follows this rule. Some punctuation can start a line, such as the opening quote(“).

Dec 8	comment	如果你不介意 : appropriate translation from English? I do not feel it strange, although I would add "的话" at the end.

Dec 7	comment	Dissimilation of bilabial finals following Middle Chinese (法, 品, 凡) When did this dissimilation process happen? How are the examples pronounced before and after the dissimilation process?
Dec 7	comment	Dissimilation of bilabial finals following Middle Chinese (法, 品, 凡) Oh just googled and found what Middle Chinese means ..
Dec 7	comment	Dissimilation of bilabial finals following Middle Chinese (法, 品, 凡) And there's no P part after V in 法, at least in mandarin.
