Wushu

[47MartialMan]

I was romaticising. Using regional English. You want to get technical.

 

My conveyance-

 

Certain member-anyone that may. No one in particular, which I had stated in parenthesis, including myself. Leaving it open for anyone to step up.

 

Again, on the subject/topic:

 

Interpretations/Mis-Interpretations

 

How something is interpreted or mis-interpreted depends on the structure of how it is presented.

I've met people that have trained in Taiwan in the 60s and 70s who told me that over there (back then at least), they used wushu to refer to Chinese martial arts in general in the manner that kung fu is used to refer to them today.

what?

 

what is 'romaticising'?

 

and you didn't say certain member.

 

you said a certain member.

 

big difference.

 

yes.

 

how people read your words makes a difference.

 

which is why i choose my words very carefully and i make sure that anyone can understand what i am saying with no confusion.

 

when i'm aware that my use of language is going to be bad, i usually fore-warn people.

 

in this case,

 

your presentation of the english language is just bad.

 

this is what you wrote

 

"Careful-a certain member here (not particulary me) will agrue-debate that."

 

careful - a warning of some sort.

 

a certain member - refering to a specific person.

 

will argue - as in the definite tense.

 

and if you want to get technical, "not particularly me" is incorrect grammar.

[47MartialMan]

My presentation results from my origin, which is different from your orgin.

 

Careful - not a warning, a lure.

 

a certain member -any or those that or may imply.

 

will argue - looking to debate or post a opinion.

 

and if you want to get technical, "not particularly me" is incorrect grammar. Not where I am from.

 

Lets see, can shrimp be pluralized?

[Drunken Monkey]

we could put it to the vote.

 

and yeah.

 

tai wan uses mandarin more than cantonese so they would tend to use "wushu".

 

except it is actually that they use the proper term "wu-shu" or more specifically, they would say they train/learn "wu".

I'm under the impression that while in America Kung Fu refers to all the Chinese styles taught, it means "Hard work", which is why you could have good kung fu elsewhere, where as in China and pardon my spelling since I don't speak any languages from Asia it's called "Wushu" which is the fighting arts themselves and "Kung Fu" is how you attain mastery in Wushu. I'm not here to debate so don't reply to this post, it's just what I think.
