Understanding China

Thou Shalt Not Understand China.

Unless maybe you wanna think in Chinese ... then you have a chance.
With my Keen Sense of the Obvious, I can tell that they don't think in English. No matter how good their English is, and while sometimes it's pretty good on paper, a lot of them think they are speaking Actual English while the Average Joe, plumber or otherwise, cannot understand more than one word out of maybe like ten. I shudder to think what I might do to their language, if I had time to study it. I almost signed up for a class a couple of weeks ago, but about a half an hour before it started I had to go to a fire. An act of God? I dunno.
