I can't agree with you on this.. It is like... all countries has their own culture, custom, and language. If you do repsect their culture and so on, you should try to be in the way they do. For example, if a foreigner comes to Taiwan... They will have to call your family name first..then the first name... It is because they are in Taiwan and speaks Chinese... In the other hand, I am sure you don't want a foreigner to call your first name first in Chinese and following with the family name. If you don't want it, then it won't make it reasonable to you to say so.. After all, language is just a tool...to communicate... why do we have to bring in those self-centric ideas into it? just let it be what it originally is.. Therefore, due to the reason to repsect other cultures and our own culture... I just can't agree with your idea. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.21.104.51
