My friend M. Luo told me that “Both are acceptable nowadays. The same is true with other abbreviations like Dr and Mrs.”\nIs it right? Will someone can teach me?

Personally I wouldn't recommend it,as it's not proper spelling or grammar. Mrs.or Mr.for married women and men OR Mister.  Miss $ Master for young people. Ms. if you're not sure. Sir or Madam,to be formal. Hope this helps.

they're all measures of respect in a way.. \n\n--kun is for a guy (usually a close guy-friend) and you usually use it in addressing young boys, or those of junior status; males of about the same age also use this towards each other\n--sama is very respectful...it's for elderlies and people of higher ranks than you..\n--san is for basically anyone\n--chan-is generally used for younger girls and animals\n--sensei-is for master or teachers or doctors\n--senpai-is for an upperclassman or a mentor\n--kohai-is for an underclassman\n--shi is used in formal writing, such as in journalism\n---none- is used for close friends...if you're very close, you wouldnt have to call them SOMEBODY-san

It is correct according to MS Word spelling and grammar check.  Use it...  Tools >Spelling and Grammar from the standard MS Word tool bar.  \n\nThey both will pass the test grammatically, but the first makes most sense.

I don't know where you're from, but in the United States "one thousand" is used a lot more prevalently than "ten hundred."  I have only heard "ten hundred" a hand full of times in my life.  I say "one thousand."  Since she is your wife she is going to win the argument anyways, so not much you can do!

I think people feel incomplete by just saying the acronym.  For example, "you need your PIN" just seems incomplete somehow.  I do not know what in our brain chemistry makes us want to add the last word to an acronym, but it seems to happen.  automatic teller machine machine (ATM machine, PIN number).  I think it happens more often when part of the acronym is a noun that describes the thing as well.

It is always safe to call ANY professor "Professor Lastname."  \n\nPersonally, "Dr. X" makes me a bit uncomfortable, because I am not a medical doctor.  However, I DID make all my students call me "Dr. Firstname" for a couple of months right after I earned my PhD.  It amused me.  (And it amused my students as well.)\n\nSome fields don't require professors to hold the PhD (like Fine Arts, in which the MFA suffices), and some professors are lecturers or adjuncts, or instructors, and some of those folks don't yet hold the PhD.  \n\nBut all of us are professors, regardless of rank (assistant, associate, full, etc.).  So "Professor X" will do just fine, thank you.  :)

What do you mean by your edit?  That they are wrong?\n\nThey aren't, intimate is pronounced differently in each case.

I think they're both acceptable, except in formal situations.  I'm damn confused about why you're even asking this bloody question.  :-)

Why should it say >> male << if it meant researchers ... dnt think we actually have that large number of ' brilliant male' health professionals ...;) \ni think its talking about the subjects of the study \nbut the paragraph has a weird structure though

I think Dr. is the right way to go. \nA Ph.D is a doctorate

I recommend simplified, it's so much easier and many of the world now use simplified instead of traditional, once you know simplified, you will know traditional. Seriously, I think people who only know traditional is bit out-dated, no offence though.\n\nWell, in most countried, the signs are in simplified, but I think in Taiwan and Hong Kong it is in traditional though. Malaysia, Singapore etc etc use simplified.\n\nReally, learn simplified, it's easier, more useful and better. Too many strokes in traditional.\n\nBtw, you are not a "da ben dan", maybe "da cong ming", jia you, xue xi shun li! ;)

people that use abbreviations are generally people that are not too bright.  this is just a generalizaion, don't jump to a conclusion.

Consider the source...the people that mis use this term, are followers...they have heard it wrong and used it wrong without knowing any better.  Those of us that are aware of the proper usage tend to lapse in respect for the speakers.  Regardless, I couldn't care less how they say it because I know the way it is meant, and enjoy correcting most!

they are abbreviations.......cant think of anything else

Hey, I'm from Hong Kong, and have just moved back to Canada, my mom wants me to practise Chinese more often. E- mail me, the address is in my profile.\nSure I can see the characters, and I'd say I'm fine thank you! Mind if you tell us whether you are a guy or gal? Two more things, it's learnt and it's Putonghua! \nCheers!C
