Yeh. You missed my edit.Frigid said:first character. you know how it is with chinese. to your second question, nope.
it's the 文 character. the pronunciation is mando, but i'm a canto person...PwarYuex said:I've never heard "Wen" before. Is it Canton or Mando?
Cool. I don't understand why Chinese people feel they have to get an English name and vice versa.
Ah, in Japanese, it's pronounced bun or mon.Frigid said:it's the 文 character. the pronunciation is mando, but i'm a canto person...
globalisation i guess. haha.. coz some names are hard to pronounce.
and that is?PwarYuex said:My last name is better
what is it with you and 'dear'Frigid said:yeah, if you wanna amortise your car loan over 50 bloody years...
using the loan amortisation formula (QMA dear):
n = 50
A = 300K
r = 0.06
R = A x [ r / 1 - (1 + r)^-n ] = approx 19K
edit: btw, if you plug in R = 18K, A = 300K, r = 0.06, and attempt to solve for n, you actually find that R never decreases to 18K because as n approaches positive infinity, (1 + r)^-n approaches but never reaches 0 (horizontal asymptote at y = 0).
and i still suck at math
That's only because Roseville has heaps of old people.PwarYuex said:Heh, good to know.
I've made it into two people's sigs now! THE POWER! *charges up*
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say, although you said it so much better
Also, I didn't know the four weeks/two weeks thing.
From memory, the highest level of people not working is Roseville or somewhere similar, which is the Florida of Sydney (retirement).
my friends gave me one...but I can remember what it was...Chinese names are much more interesting too many people are called Melissa...its so boring maybe I should start using my greek middle namevelox said:Rob, so are you saying you dont see the need for Anglo people to have a Chinese name ?
It's Swedish; Persson. The Swedish version of "Peterson", son of Peter (obviously).Frigid said:and that is?
Yes I am. They should struggle with ours like we do with theirs!velox said:Rob, so are you saying you dont see the need for Anglo people to have a Chinese name ?
Chosing a Chinese name should be as complex and difficult as it is for the parents.melsc said:my friends gave me one...but I can remember what it was...Chinese names are much more interesting too many people are called Melissa...its so boring maybe I should start using my greek middle name
Hahah, yep.Frigid said:haha, sorry, but that almost sounds like a legal fiction
Mr Joe Bloggs, Mr John Doe.
Yeah, hence my alternate pronounciation of it.velox said:lol, that would be funny.
My legal teacher always used "Joe Bloggs" then got annoyed when the class kept asking him why he used it all the time...so its a law school thing???Frigid said:haha, sorry, but that almost sounds like a legal fiction
