comment In “我只喜歡你一個” what does the “一個” do?
"I like you alone" isn't good english which threw me off. I had a minor thought that it might mean "I only like you when you're on your own"

comment How do Chinese people pronounce Latin characters?
@NS.X. this is the answer I was looking for, but it seems I phrased my question wrong. Should have said "Why is X sometimes pronounced Cha1, and are other letters treated similarly?". But given the title I gave JamesJiao's answer is the right one.

I assumed ChinesePod's vocabulary wasn't too obscure, perhaps they included this one just for fun, then.

That's pretty interesting. I'm surprised ChinesePod didn't mention the 叉 reference (I should double check).

This is something the OECD would be good at, were it an english use of the word. Normally they'd find notable example of its use with this meaning.

Thanks John. I first learned this from mainland friends, but my taiwanese friends also use this term. So I guess it has a longer history.
