	::By the way, I have had a year of Chinese (Mandarin, to be specific) and have spent a fair bit of time in China, so I can clear things up a bit: Yes, Mandarin is the most common spoken form of Chinese and the official form of the People's Republic of China. The writing, however, is the same throughout China (OK, there is a bit of an exception in that Cantonese has its own written form, most often used in Hong Kong and Macau, but it's generally the same elsewhere in China.) This means that, while what Strong Bad said is definitely Mandarin, as it was spoken with the Mandarin pronunciation, the characters representing them are not Mandarin; they are pan-Chinese. (Or, to put it another way, they're no more Mandarin than they are any other form of Chinese.) That's why the current explanation, which describes SB's saying as Mandarin but the characters as Chinese, is probably the best. There, long and possibly unnecessary explanation finished.

	DrPepper42, I do not appreciate the tone of your edit summary here: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homestar_Ruiner&diff=588540&oldid=588474]. Being indignant like that toward good-faith edits is never called for, full stop. Furthermore, your "correction" was not completely justified. For one thing, Mandarin is a form of Chinese, meaning that the original was not incorrect, just less specific than what you wrote. Furthermore, your edit was problematic in that simply calling it "Mandarin" in the context you did implies that the characters after it are Mandarin, which they are not. The are Chinese characters, as all forms of Chinese use (roughly) the same set of characters. In sum, don't treat good faith editors that way under any circumstance, and be careful to fact-check before being critical of an edit. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:12, 14 September 2008 (UTC)		DrPepper42, I do not appreciate the tone of your edit summary here: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homestar_Ruiner&diff=588540&oldid=588474].
