No problem. I saw you had started to edit the Antony page but I just added a couple paragraphs that were missing (maybe they were skipped during the copy/paste?). And your life takes precedence so please don’t worry! I completely understand and I didn’t think you forgot or ditched me.

PS. Take your time. I can fix typos or I’m sure a few of the regular editors will help too.

PSS. I think but I’m not certain that there are over 50000 characters in traditional Chinese. That’s what my mother learned and that’s what is used in newspapers (and publications) usually; however with the newer generations, they have “simplified” the characters which upsets my mother and her generation because they might not understand what the “new” characters mean (basically like abbreviating multiple brush strokes to fewer strokes) and in a way, it’s destroying the heritage. And yes, you are completely right about the 4 tones. As a few people say, when I try to speak Chinese, I speak it with an “American accent” which basically means my tones are not always correct. One of these days (probably in the distant future), I hope to have the time to get one of those Rosetta stones to try to learn a 2nd language fluently.
