Oh great...Since I'll be reading that Mandarin textbook, I have to get used to simplified characters. ....Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to know those as well as the traditional. As long as I don't mix them up. eek

I can't write the simplified version, but I can read it alright.

traditional looks nicer than simplified, do you want Non-Chinese speaking cultures to look upon "simple" characters? NO! we want them to see the difficult and intricate formations of each character and symbol! For you to take an extra 1 second to write or draw a character reflects that we are a culture of complexity and tradition.

i write traditional chinese(that's what i was taught in chinese school) but my parents sometimes write simplified form, which kinda annoys me, and my grandparents usually write simplified. but our family uses traditional chinese lettering the most.
