Term 1 Blog #52 (Multimedia Blog #8)

YAY!! today, i am exactly 14 years and 3 months old. :D:D i feel oold. 27 has always been a special number to me.
it turns out that, in the chinese test, there wont be much need to study during the week, but there will be a looong essay to write as well as a looong part to read. i suck at those. if it were english, i would have been very happy it was like that. or i would be indifferent. but in chinese, nooooooo. i suck. so much.
It's multimedia blog today. I would like to compare pictures of the simplified chinese world "ai" (meaning love), with the traditional.


the one on the top is the simplified, and the one on the bottom is traditional. see the missing part? the part with three dots on top and roundish look on the bottom? it looks like this:

this little word inside the tranditional word (which they have omitted in the simplified), means HEART. What is love without a heart? do you think simplified words make sense? This is my arguement that traditional words are better (and make more sense) than simplified words. also, they're a lot prettier. don't u agree? traditional words are more pretty. and pictureistic.
