Just saw this on CNN...

"Expert: New 'must learn' language likely to be Mandarin"

Weird... Joss's accidental choice of Mandarin over Cantonese may actually work out in reality...

Uh huh... well that's FAY-FAY duh PEE-yen!

On a related topic... I've been told by a friend, who travels in China, that Chinese people actually like to curse in English!

And that's no tzão gáo.
