Henning, you may be right.

Wenlin - my standard source - prefers 凈.

Taiwan dictionaries prefer 淨.

So there are several traditional forms in this case, like in 裡/裏, 什/甚.

nar = Northern China (Beijing dialect)

nali = Southern China (+ Taiwan)

At ChinesePod you will more often hear Beijing dialect.

"你搞錯了!我不是!" is in the text,

but not spoken in the dialogue,

should removed from text script.

 

No quality checks??

If it's automated, it should (and could) be correct.

We are learners, and we should learn the correct characters, not seldom used variants.

I think the problem is that ChinesePod is in Shanghai, where traditional characters (and variants) are nearly never used.

Argggh!

The traditional script has a tiny mistake (ChinesePod, why?):

the normal traditional form of 干净

is    乾凈,

not  乾淨.

is a very seldom used traditional variant of 凈.

There are some mistakes in the traditional script:

1. The trad. form of 游乐园 is not 游樂園, but 樂園.

2. In the HTML trad. script 过山车 is simplified, must be 過山車.
