Dear #Taipei_Times (#台北時報), If it's "commonly known as "#Taiwanese" (#Tâigí), as you always point out, why do you insist on calling it "#Hoklo" (#Ho̍hló)? 🤦🏽‍♂️

@willbuckingham Such a dedication! if you are really into practising! much better chance to get into conversation with daily speakers when you go down the old city quarters: Confucius Temple/ South Gate Market, but no guarantee as it has changed so much since my Uni days. Side note: I wonder how much we can really coin the language #Taiwanese as to #Hoklo, I feel with #Hoklo you get more culture spectrum across #SEAsia. Having say that there are many #Japanese borrowing in #TaiwaneseHoklo

@elduvelle @dstephenlindsay unlike #HanLanguages, English (and many other languages) has grammatically rules: sub/obj,cases and tense etc that doesn't exist in my experience of #Mandarin or #Hoklo (with sentence are constructed by simpled 'sub+verb+obj' and no tense/case). English's vase vocabulary and convention make it a better science language but they are not any easier, especially for someone who has being struggling with embarrassment associated with r;l for decades😅

Anyway I made a chicken stir fry today.
