A bit more study of the different nuances from country to country may be suggested in this case.

hehe in england it can meain either - to be pissed is to be rather drunk, but to be pissed of is to be angry

in the spirit of not derailing; i have a friend from china; she says she is from southern china; and she doesnt understand northern chinese too well; is there a difference in accent? also i know there are different chinese languages (cantonese and manderin right?) whats in use now? i never get it the right way round...

I know Chinese and Japanese and if you compare them you will find that Japanese is much more useful for communication and the Kanji is also better than Chinese "Hanzi."

But in terms of food, the Chinese "Jiaozi" is better than the Japanese "Gyoza"

differ place the mandarin speaking might differ.

china ppl speak aircon as "kong tiao"空调, doctor as "da fu"大夫

other place's chinese speak aircon as "leng qi"冷气 , doctor as "yi sheng"医生

yi sheng 医生 is not cantonese, is mandarin. but china ppl will not use "yi sheng"医生

i got a china friend, sometime he dono what i am talking.

haha.. yeah, i agree with you, kiradaisuke! ^^

Different countries have different ways of speaking chinese =P

yeah, the China accent can be pretty hard to understand sometimes.. >_<"
