Modern Western social politics are completely dominated by the ripple effect of Georges Clemenceau being kind of a goddamn cunt.

Chiang Kai-shek is properly romanised as Jiang Zhongzheng (if you agree with me that Wade-Giles is worth as much as horse piss). Pinyin, while more accurate, also looks a whole lot less classy.

"Chiang Kai-shek is properly romanised as Jiang Zhongzheng (if you agree with me that Wade-Giles is worth as much as horse piss). Pinyin, while more accurate, also looks a whole lot less classy."

This is actually a useless factoid--looks like a fact, but isn't.

The Pinyin romanization of Chiang Kai-Shek is Jiang Jieshi. 'Chiang' is Wade-Giles, but Kai-Shek is Cantonese romanization; Wade-Giles would give 'Chieh-Shih'.

'Zhongzheng' is the Pinyin romanization of a *different* courtesy name that Chiang Kai-Shek used (中正; Wade-Giles 'Chung-Cheng'). That's how Chiang is commonly known in Taiwan; if you go there, you'll see a number of public places named 中正 after Chiang. On the other hand, the CCP rejects this name for political reasons (to be fair, Chiang adopted it for political reasons).

It's going to lose that name if it doesn't try harder.
600,000 of those Mosquito killings are through it's biological warfare agent, malaria. If we can just cure malaria for good, humans will easily pass up mosquitos to claim the top spot as the number one killers of ourselves. Another good reason to cure malaria - we want to be number one in everything.

Lethologica: I actually didn't know that. The more you know.

Apparently, the truth is even more bullshit than what I thought it was, though. Why would you romanise your given name and surname differently?!

^ This comment appropriately cements JamesYanik as the most anal person on Earth.

thanks Leth! this accomplishment... it makes up for my disappointing .00000001 D:B ratio

you know when you post a comment online, and you think "well... probably don't want THAT out there in the ether" and then realize there is no delete button, and then realize archive services have already replicated your comment a thousand times, and then decide "i'm never going to be able to go into the public sphere now" and then you stay online longer and say more stupid things?

that's what i get for saying .00000001 D:B ratio when it's really .0000001

mockery incoming
