I am a gamer, programmer, and a wannabe linguist who is fluent in English and Mandarin, and proficient in French.
I am an achievement hunter. Come and visit me on trueachievements.com
I am also an administrator on Wiktionary and have been for over 3 years. I edit mostly in French, Dutch, English and Mandarin, but I also dabble in Italian, Japanese, Maori and Swedish. We are constantly looking for competent volunteers/lexicographers to contribute to this wonderful multilingual dictionary website.

Difference between “banner” and “flag” Or like in la Marseillaise - ... L'étendard sanglant est levé... (the bloody flag is raised)... |

What does it mean “It is hard to get by just upon a smile”? That's exactly what this line means. It presumably is a song from a parent to his/her daughter. Kids are usually fairly naive when they step into the society for the first time. This whole song is essentially there to give them a heads-up. |

What do British and American post boxes say when they don't want any advertising? NZ/Aus use similar phrasing. No circulars/No junk mail are probably more common. |

Should I greet my customer at 6pm with “good evening” or “good afternoon”? +1 to this answer. That's what I would do. If it's still light, then Good afternoon, if dark, then good evening. There really isn't a cut-off time for saying them. |

Since “Jap” is a racist/derogatory word, what's an appropriate short form for Japanese/the Japanese language? This is just in hindsight. From a usability's standpoint, it's actually a lot easier to remember www.learnjapanese.com than let's say learnJA.com. You might wish to take a course in that. |
