Interesting you bring in the pinyin... The pinyin Westerners use to learn Chinese is in itself a problem.. when pronounced as we would in English... much is all wrong.. There is also a Chinese pinyin (for lack of a better word) which is a collection of sounds not using Western character.. It is instructive to take a Mandarin (or Cantonese) class and listen to the various interpretations by students of the pinyin...

Also interesting to consider current interpretations of Peking. Chunking, Nanking etc.. etc..

Not the issue TJ is referring to.. in TZU vs TZE..

Hamoon, very sneaky and most unbecoming. Your were not mouthing off about Tse vs Tze. You were mouthing off about Tze vs tzu Message 27008848

Tse vs Tze would be a spelling issue mostly, transliteration issue almost, but not quite.

Tze vs tzu is an issue of fact that they refer to two completely different words with totally different meanings. Tze is part sun's name. Tzu is a honorific.

Give it up, stop showing the truth that you are ignorant (this choice of word is not meant as an insult), unable to learn, and likes to mouth-off about all that you are ignorant and unable to learn.
