HansTWN, I'm not going to get into a discussion with you about Taiwan vs. PRC use of language (or anything else related to that division). I have too many friends on both sides of that issue. All I'll say is that as a linguist, I'm more interested in how people actually use language to communicate, and I report what I've actually heard while visiting Beijing, Chengdu, Shenyang, etc. and what I hear from my mainland friends at the Chinese school where I've worked (and my kids, of course).
For the rest, feel free to have the final word. I won't respond again. It's not that I disagree with you, but we seem to be having trouble expressing any agreement.
