Besides, the use of pinyin just shows that you are too intellectually challenged to learn characters really. It is also tricky to read, as we instinctively read anything in the latin Alphabet as our native language whether that be English, French, German etc.

I would say "intellectually challenged" would be an accurate description of some of the newer posters who have been on here since December, although one of them has been using other pseudonyms. I am happy to find that there are good folks such as you yourself who also came on here around the same time to balance the equation :)

Also pinyin doesn’t really convey the meaning as ‘shi’ for example: icould mean ‘it is’, lion, time, stone etc. It is hard to distinguish between them without characters.

Haha, good observation.

Regardless, those who write in pinyin just remind me of the sad losers in bars in China, who think that their basic vocabulary of bastardised Chinese is really impressing the cheap whores in the bar. Classics such as:

Neeow (pronounced like a cat with a meowing problem -it is supposed to be: Ni Hao, haha. No more translations into standard pinyin from hereon)
Pee Jew (or better yet Sing Tao Pee Jew) - they don’t know how to order anything else, why would they?
Jigger - Because items in China, don’t have names, they just have pictures?
Washer Meigua ren/ Woe she Meigua ren (Those that have actually heard this, there are some beautiful melons going around).
She She (A patronising false gesture of thanks from a loser laowai)
Boocheedow (An expression of confusion, not knowing something such as the basics of the Chinese language).
Woe She Wan Nee / Woe eyenee - Real chat up lines are never needed when you are paying to sleep with a girl anyway.

Although I feel worn out from dealing with so many weasels and useless types who will lie and speak nonsense on this board, I can't help but come back due to the rewards I get too. This passage was just too funny! You made my day!
