In particular in Hong Kong, young people identify as cool and hip based on their ability to switch in this way, rather than switching between Chinese and English at a larger discourse scale, as their elders do.<br /><br />See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching_in_Hong_Kong and http://sitemaker.umich.edu/psy457_ksmal/home<br /><br />Cheers, Peter One more note on the English words in Chinese language messages.

Very interesting post Michael, how blinded we human are in the face of quantifying things (if its summarized into a number it must be easier to control/understand…).

I really regrett in hindsight not taking more advantage of the testlab and just runnning between presentations Eurostar.

Thanks for your comments.

There was a bug tracking system; for more information, you'd need to contact James Lyndsay at Workroom Productions.

I'm sorry about the selection problem; I had no idea that such a thing had been installed into my template. I was shocked by it. It's gone now. Thank you for the report. I appreciate attribution when people are copying and pasting, but that's going a little far.
