Hello John. This is fun actually. I regard it as a bit of banter, in between making points on the forum which we believe in, am I right.

I am trying my best to learn, but I am a bit older and slower than you probably. I know you have had a bellyful of pinyin from me-so what about a bit of the old hanzi-and I'll be glad of your input where I have made a mistake. Right ..phew.. I will attemp他 to translate what you wrote below into proper Chinese..here goes..wish me luck...

What is cringeworthy is the fact that offender is showing off very basic phrases... incorrectly. He really does sound like [edited]
My Chinese isn’t perfect, but I know that learning it is something that has to be taken seriously

让人不可思议的事情是有些人很喜欢炫耀一些最基本的词语，但是用法不对。这些词语往往是很部恰当的。 我的中文不是完美的。 但是我知道学� 一门语言应该认真对待。
