BW... you've *got* to be kidding! The various de's serve different purposes and are here to stay. You won't find that kind of disinformation on this site :)]]> Fred

brokensword,
Is it true that all “de’s” will be replaced with 的? And no more 地 and 得?
I've been hearing talk of that ever since I first came to China, but I don't think it's going to happen. It just seems less educated. In any case, you're never going to be wrong for properly distinguishing between the three forms of "de," and knowing the difference can help your understanding of grammar. So I wouldn't give up on "de" yet. -John]]> ChinesePod

Lois, Both "shéi" and "shuí" are acceptable readings for 谁. "Shéi" is much more often in spoken Mandarin, so we use it more. -John]]> ChinesePod
