  • Sweet potatoes and yams are different things.

  • I'm approximately 99.44% positive that at no point would "Liu" be pronounced as "Lu" in any dialect of Chinese.

    Seeing as they already have the perfectly cromulent "Lu" available for that sound.

    Romanizations are by definition sound-based, unlike characters.

  • Have your +1 you hateful bastard.

  • How is it pronounced there?

  • ... It does?

    How is that name pronounced in the west? Here it would be pronounced something kinda/sorta like "LEE-OWE KAHNG" Each one syllable (the first being a diphthong). The latter syllable is difficult to transcribe into an English word. I can't think of a word in English that has that vowel sound precisely, but it's basically the "a" in "father", not in "cask".

    (Now be glad I didn't explain Laura Luo's family name...)

  • I don't get it.

  • You have committed the grave error of credibility by getting the most obvious and trivially checked facts of something (a name) wrong.

    I think you'll find the "reeducation camp" is called a "school" in common English. If you want to go for the melodramatic name, however, no skin off my nose.

  • ... Really? Please explain.

  • It's not "Distance Raptor" or "Time Raptor" or even "Veloci Raptor". It's Distanceraptor. All one word. Or Timeraptor or Velociraptor.

    I mean otherwise it would be:

    D~istanceraptor~

    T~imeraptor~

    And that leaves us with:

    Dstanc

    I hate how they go down but come right back up again, over and over.

  • My dad once picked up a beautiful hitchhiker. In the course of the drive she claimed to be a witch who could turn him into anything she wanted. My father, being very skeptical, asked her to prove it. She whispered some magic words in his ear and, sure enough, he turned into a motel.
