I remember when I was living in Thailand and trying to figure out the Thai language with its 5 different tones. The same word said 5 different ways with different tone inflections meant 5 different things . There was one word said with a monotone voice that meant a girl was very pretty. The same word said with a high pitched tone meant “Cow”. It only took me a very short time to learn two things …. 1. The difference in the two tones for that word.
2. To stop trying to learn the Thai language on my own !!! :rolleyes:
Oh boy. Dangerous. 2 meanings for one word with 2 very different possible outcomes ;)

Ahhh … SHM …. ;)
I realize that English is not your first language and you have done an outstanding job with all of your posts . Your English is way better than my non existent Chinese … however just wanted to let you know that you just made a pretty funny joke and made me laugh . The word you’re looking for is pliers … not piles (hemorrhoids) :)
Thank you Burt, that is what I mean.
