I got tired of rolling into Sentence Discussions and seeing all these meaningless dialects, to me. So instead of fighting it, I have joined you by starting to learn Chinese. I have far to travel before these are helpful to me.

But I have to say they are far superior than what we have in Tips and Notes.
