Sometimes I hear people totally butchering things in Chinese and I’d like to beat some of them with a ruler.

my Mandarin teacher used to beat us with a ruler if we pronounced “jing” with a French “J” sound.

John, I’m not sure where I came upon this. I think someone shared it via Google Reader.

Jun, I think they are supposed to be corny.

Tongue-in-cheek, right?

How about: “ren” (people/person).

I wanna see how they’d teach how to roll the tongue for the “er” phonetic. lol.
