I'm a software developer working on a social-networking site. I work mainly in J2EE, SQL, HTML, JavaScript and CSS. My free time is spent raising a daughter and a son.

Is any simplified character also a traditional character? @Huang: I can understand if there are guidelines, etc. But from a North American perspective, if people want to write confusing, ambiguous text, that's perfectly fine. |

Why is stroke order important when writing Chinese characters? If a computer requires the operator to memorize pointless lists of facts (such as stroke orders for thousands of characters) then the computer isn't doing its job properly. |

Why is stroke order important when writing Chinese characters? @Alenanno: Don't misunderstand me, I noticed that your answer was referencing a book, so I get it if people believe that stroke order is somehow correlated with "literacy". I just think that's insane, that's all. :) |

Is any simplified character also a traditional character? I find it extremely hilarious that mixing simplified and traditional characters is prohibited by law. |

Why is stroke order important when writing Chinese characters? @Alenanno: No, I'm talking about stroke order. It's mostly invisible after the character is on paper and thus if other people consider me to be illiterate because I write my characters differently than they do, then I consider their opinion of me to be baseless, false, and worthless, and offensive. If I produce a legible, correct character, who cares what order I wrote the strokes in? |

Why is stroke order important when writing Chinese characters? If someone can write a character from memory when they need to, wouldn't that be a sign of LITERACY instead of illiteracy (because the stroke order is "wrong")? Sheesh, what a pointless, snobby rule! The first sign of illiteracy is when someone can't read, not when their handwriting is bad. Honestly that notion offends me so much I feel like I should learn an incorrect stroke order for every character just to stick it to the snobs who feel it's intrinsically important. |

What is the difference between 作 and 做? @GeoffreyZheng: Awesome, is it an adjective? 那个人很做作 ? |
