November 6, 2007 at 8:34 PMCan s.o. explain what a 信用证 (xìnyòngzhèng) / letter of credit is? The suppliers I deal with are only consulting firms, typically small-medium size companies offering services rather than physical goods to large companies such as mine. I don't exactly know how they get paid as I only deal with some aspects of the invoicing process but I guess these are mostly bank transfers across Europe or the US.

November 6, 2007 at 5:13 PMtalking of ChinePera-kun, I can't seem to activate it under Firefox 2.0.0.9 (not supported). Is this just because of our paranoid security environment at work or do others have the same problem? (an intermediate learner who's gladly accepts other learner's advice)

October 31, 2007 at 8:08 AMhi wildyaks, thx for the good words - here's a more detailed set for you :-) I wasnn't sure how to organize it, clustering no longer works for such long lists, so I went alphabetical : one sorted by pinyin, the other one by English translation. Note that I will be updating the lists every now and then, I already know I'm missing login, shutdown, restart...

November 7, 2007 at 5:17 AMorkelm, the root for "negocio" / negotiation is not lack of pleasure but lack of (neg-) leisure (-otium)... slight but important distinction
