For those advocating (ahem!) Madarin.... perhaps you would switch your computer over to use the Madarin character set... and then:
Mandarin not madarin (or putonghua, which is pinyin for: 普通话) better say "chinese": it is not wrong to say it, and you won't do any mistake that way. Personaly I love this language, chinese characters are pure art, and chinese grammar is extremely easy. It was a pleasure to learn this language.

Anyway, we don't advocate, we just observe the world evolving. That's different. Some people adapt, some are open minded, some are afraid to lose their supposedly linguistic superiority, behavio(u)rs are like languages, there are many of them.
