Somewhere,
on the Tufts University campus,
in the Olin Building,
on the 3rd floor,
in an office,
on someone's desk,
is a final exam for first semester Chinese,
that just got its ass kicked,
repeatedly,
and without mercy.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAHHH!

yay!


so now can you tell me what the difference is between the two sets of ideograms (?) that both look Chinese and practically identical on the text framing Google's Holiday Logos page?

One is traditional characters (used in HKG, Singapore, Taiwan, parts of the U.S or anywhere you have a lot of immigrants from pre 1949), and one is simplified characters,, introduced after the communists took over, in an atttempt to get every character down to 20 brushstrokes (ok, pen marks, whatever) or less.

Congrats! I knew you'd do so serious butt kicking! (How do you say butt-kicking in Chinese? Saying congrats in Chinese doesn't strike me as being as much fun.)
