央行行长会: Is the second 行 necessary? Insterestingly, 国防部长 could be considered an accepted word. For协会长, the search includes a lot phrases like "律协/会长" where 律协 is an abbreviation and 会长 is a title. "协会长" itself is not a word here. |

What greetings or sayings are there that are used during the new year, specific to the Year of the Snake? I much easier to understand now. Maybe the mix of Chinese and English made things hard to understand. |

Difference between 喜乐 and 快乐？ @trideceth12 The examples of 喜乐 are a little “Bible” style. I only see sentences like this in the Chinese version of the Bible. 喜乐 is seldom used now in the Beijing area of China. |

Meaning of 泡 I don't really think any of the meanings of 泡 is closely related to O泡。 It's just a name. |

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). |

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. |

When is it appropriate to address a lady as 先生？ I don't think it would be used for teachers in primary schools, high schools or even normal colleges. As others have answered, it is used to refer knowledgable persons, but the use is now limited. |

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(“). |

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. |
