I had no idea people were getting involved in these 'bitchy' sort of standoffs where such high-strung petty 'wars' are going head-to-head like this? I HAVE seen Chinese students behave in this way in with 'status levels' but I don't think I know this issue between bilingual 'opponents'. Generally speaking I think locals appreciate a foreigners who's learned/learning or even mastering mandarin. Then again I haven't come close to fluency yet. I do realize I'm being teased and mocked sometimes but it's nothing so unusual. Well, I will keep a look out for this in the future. If anyone is so petty they want to lower me to this kind of little ___ measuring schoolboy 'war' I will be ignoring them quickly. I have no time in life for this type of petty little stuff anymore.
