Okay, I like simplified, too.

I like traditional better because that's what I learnt. And I can only read simplified. >.o Can't type it out though.

I can write traditional, but I can never write simplified. They're...hard. :/ For me. I know. I'm weird. xp

Not weird. I don't know whether your case is the same as mine because I was taught and was surrounded by traditional styles all my life. I can't read or write simplified either; some of their characters look like they're from a foreign language to me.

I see. O__o;
Sometimes people type simplified chinese, but all I can see are codes and numbers though.

And yeah. Simplified Chinese looks sort of like a foreign language, too. o-o;

I prefered the traditional Chinese, mostly because that's the one i learnt when i went to mandarin school when i was young... sweatdrop

Even though yah, it's much harder, but I believe it's a sense of culture and brings us back to the traditional roots of China. Each individual Chinese character has a story behind it, reason why that character looked that way. Simplifying them just loses that special something in the words.

Totally agree with you! smile

I agree as well. Unfortunately most of my friends only know simplified chinese. crying

i prefer traditional, its the one i learn and i think it loooks nicer aswell. If you know the traditional characters you pretty much know how to read simplified aswell.

Simplified, definetely. But I'm still now good at Chinese. whee But I'll agree, some of those traditional characters looks much spiffier than the newer ones. 4laugh

Hmm,,,I'd have to say traditional.I was born in Hong Kong and I 'm just use to traditional. I don't know how to write it but I know how to read some of it. I moved to Florida when I just turned 6.How was I suppose to learn anything? In kindergarden they just taught us english!!!
