This part confused me. I have never heard anyone pronounce it the second way. "fuh-guhl" sounds really awkward to me, and I live in the U.S. Are you sure you didn't confuse former and latter? I'm thinking if maybe it is more common in England. Although it could just be another part of the U.S. Anyways, great read. ^_^ | ||

You can't get more specific with pingying, unless you put the tone in as a numeral after or with accents. shiaow - T or siaow - T would suffice, depending on the accent and region. It's romanised, don't need to worry about being exact about pinyins as long as non-Chinese educated people can understand. Moreover, anyone might be confused by the pinyin, who knows enough to be confused between an x and a sh won't need help pronuncing xiaoT. Interesting thread, thanks. Also illustrated the reasons why English and it's writing system is so horribly irregular (messed up). | ||

Goto translate.google.com -Translate 'sock' from English to German, play audio. That's it. -Translate 'seven' from English to Swedish, play audio. That's the way the Sj is pronounced in Sjow. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=191600 This thread has a full discussion of the difference, but in short they aren't that same. Think mutalisks provide "map control," observers provide "map vision." | ||
