[quote=GUEST10248,360474]我是美國佬. =P While I respect people's decision to use simplified for it's simplicity of writing, I must say that as a non-native speaker, a great dis-service is being done to non-native chinese speakers being taught only simplified writing. I think we can learn much more about the language and meaning through traditional chinese. Also, as has been mentioned, almost all chinese people can read traditional chinese, but not all chinese people can understand simplified chinese. I have a lot of friends from Taiwan and Hong Kong, and they are totally lost when it comes to simplified chinese. I understand the desire of China's government to boost literacy via simplification of writing, but now that we type most everything on a computer, and mainland Chinese can understand traditional writing, I would like to see China return to (in my opinion) one of it's most beautiful traditions, Traditional Chinese.[/quote]
