Renegade343 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Another HK player here. And just wondering, did u study in an international school before? Otherwise it is quite weird u have English as ur first language. Certainly couldnt survive government schools if your cantonese is bad My Cantonese is not bad (in fact, I am more fluent in Cantonese than my first language, English). In fact, I can write, read and speak Cantonese quite fluently. How long have u played renegade? Or since when? Around a year ago (I think).

What you're saying is that you write well enough in traditional Chinese text but I'm nitpicking. I'm guessing you're possibly non-Chinese in terms of ethnic origin.

You can, technically, write it out to be in Cantonese (and it is a recognised language [albeit a rather minor one]). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenBar Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm guessing you're possibly non-Chinese in terms of ethnic origin. I'm placing my bet on this one, and I'm guessing British since you write "recognised" instead of "recognized", given that your English wasn't affected by the teachers there who stuck with British English. Is Warframe actually popular in HK? Are there any active Chinese Warframe communities on Facebook or whatever social network HK people use nowadays?

I can write both in American and British English (and speak a mixture of such). It is just that the laptop I am using uses British English, and I do not like seeing those red underline dashes.

MetroFallout Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 So Chinese or non-Chinese? Depending on your answer I can determine how you got to be as proficient in English as you are. (Most people in Hong Kong born from the late eighties onwards have an increasingly poor grasp of the English language) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetroFallout Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Fine. Chinese.I'm guessing you were born in the early-ish 90s and that your parents either had you study in a secondary school with English as the medium of instruction or you studied in an international school with the former being more likely given your ability to write well in Chinese. Plus, your parents may be in a professional field where English is used often, this would confer a certain amount of English-speaking ability over to you as they would possibly speak to you in English more often.
