Does anybody know any other characters that most Chinese people don't know how to write? I find that while they're always very nice when complimenting your writing, it's sometimes in a quite patronizing tone, as if they're surpised that a foreigner of such limited brain power could learn how to write Chinese. I just want showboat a bit I guess (to show off) ;-)

How does 不得了 compare with that other dramatic intensifier 死了?

For example, if I were to say:

我冷得不得了
我冷死了

would I be more cold in the first one or the second?
