it's hieroglyphs but what about people who don't know English or Roman characters? same thing.

i'm talking about people who plurk in English but are using Chinese names. You can't address/respond to someone whose name u can't read.

just treat them as pictogram... like meu pé.. you recognize the alphabets but you wont understand the meaning right?

so too. there are only that many words one can form in English

eg, DPL (big bad person). I can't even type it! and it's worse for those who can't even read it. How do they reply to him/her?

I'm talking in context of that long +90-response plurk - what if i wanted to reply to DPL in that?

do i say, 'hey you with the chinese name?'

literally

parsival is getting good at response-baiting! mine is nihongo! well, nttp has a chinese character, long as well, and so does shutian.

there's always the registered nick, mouse over and you'll see the name at the bottom left corner (for me)...mine shows guerrillapoet

i mean guerrillapoet...

aha! u showed me something new, Sagi. but can u register in chinese characters? if u can, do u see the problem still remains?

the train has gone but she wouldl like to explain that meu pé means My Foot

ahlamb: ; Parsival: i don't think so. i remember trying to register with it when i first started but i may be wrong!

but u see the problem right? how can i address u directly if i can't type yr name nor translate it so i can type in English? Copy n paste?

eh...i think i just answered my own stupid question

stupid stupid stupid!!! arrrrgh! cut and paste dammit!

when you type @[guerrillapoet], remove brackets it changes automatically to Iteka!

ctrl C and ctrl P is the best thing invented

or you can use the Reply-to link when you mouse-over the user's name.

shows u how blur i am with new tech.

nvm, what is impt is the desire to know!

in another word Curiousity, In another word.. KAY-Po-ness

SP: curiosity. . kaypohness is good, pple shouldnt discourage it!

i'm curious about the universe but i don't ask people about personal stuff.

PARSIVAL! you didnt see my spelling error!

he spelt hieroglyphs wrongly too what haha..today off-form.

cannot imagine correcting both of u

omg ur right Sagi! *hangs head in shame* And Ahlamb I'm not a spelling nazi, contrary to popular belief

they should have a program.. "so you think you can spell" or "Dont forget your spelling!"

win 1 million

beakee tried to point it out to you in e first plurk but you rode roughshod over it haha. ahlamb:可有千秋

dun plurk chinese here la hahaha

i completely missed beakee's correction, Sagi! can have thousand autumns?

only wanted to point out that Parsival is not infallible

keep a look out

beakee, oh i knew that looong ago people in glass houses eh?

a spelling and grammar nazi

betcha have yr spellcheck off always, beakee. and u get irritated when it corrects yr spelling to 'american'.

how did you know!

cos I'm projecting, mia cara.

we can haz thousand autumns!

built-in American dictionaries are a constant irritation.

well, we can always copy and paste right?

yup, unless you're using an iPhone.

follows oxford house rules! ize for everything, the rest brit sp, but no one seems to understand the conventions.

so he gave up and switched to pure UK sp.

rejects ize-ing anything unless there's a practical reason to, like doing international website copy.

tt's what i do now - ise. nobody follows oxford .
