[quote=ROGERINCA               ,24188]Dear Conny,   Another ‘member’ interposed himself in a response to my post, which was directed to you, in this thread.  Normally, I would not take issue with such action; however, in this instance, the member who attempted to interpret my meaning / intention, did not form a correct conclusion !!  He arrogantly stated to you, that my comment was “pedantic”.  Definition: …..too concerned with details or fine distinctions and too ready to criticize minor errors (disapproving)….. Having said this, I will tell you my comment was not at all based on pedantry, it was 100% in fun.  And now, I will explain (to you) the point of my dry humor:The English expression “yippee” has a look and sound similar to an (imaginary) Chinese word in pinyin…..as in ‘yi pe’ or ‘yip pe’.  Therefore all I was doing was having a silly, little, tongue-in-cheek, humor exchange with you, with respect to the ‘shape’ and sound of a word.  I was not at all criticizing you, or your use of the English language, or making a comment that was in any way, critical or disapproving, as was negatively misinterpreted by the other member.  Yikes !!  Of course I understand what ‘yippee’ means and I see it in writing often.  I just thought it was so [cute] to see you, as a Chinese woman, use this fun, English expression in a post !!!!  LOL :) :)Conny, you and I have communicated many times, aside from the posts in the forum.  You know my sense of humor and my personality.  Yes, I am the only man in this forum who knows how much RMB you paid for your new Moto’ V3 Raz’r mobile phone !!! LOL.  You are a very kind, peaceful, intelligent, attractive young woman, whom I admire and respect.  You are young enough to be my daughter.  You and I have a relationship based on a very good friendship, which is very good and very healthy.  However, some men are incapable of having, or understanding, a relationship with a woman that is based [only] on mutual respect, admiration and true friendship - 友谊  尊敬  倾慕.No Conny, I would never criticize you, or your use, of the English language (even though you have, in fact, told me that my attempts, at writing Chinese, needed more work) LOL !!! So very funny !!! :) :)  Thank you for your friendship Conny !!!!  You are such a fine and happy young woman; I wish you always, the most good luck and success in your life !!![/quote]
