Thanks for the info Oneesama. That program looks interesting. May check that out for fun later. (Especially since one of them comes with some Chinese fonts?)
BTW, so how are you set up in Windows XP? What IME do you use? |

If you plan to go to mainland china, simplified chinese is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, since it's official there. Aboute most people from oversea learn traditional, it's because those immigrants in the 90s were mainly from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which still keep the traditional character system. But unless taiwan takes over china (not bloody liking), traditional chinese WILL NOT spread. Even in hong kong, simplified chinese is slowly taking over in its society. So to conclude, if you get to choose which type to learn, learn simplified chinese, unless you already know traditional chinese. About the butchering comment, it's not because it's harder to learn, it's because during the beginning of the communist era, the government wanted to get rid of its monarchy past, and it wanted to draw a distinctive difference between its new communist ideals/society with the nationist's ideals/society, who had fled to taiwan after ww2. personally, traditional looks more elegant and more pretty to me, and it's more comfortable for me since i grew up learning tran. chn. But in reality, people need to adapt to simplified chinese because that's the only form of chinese writing that will survive assuming nothing happens to communist china anytime soon. |
