      I really genuinely was blindsided by the response by it though because I was a gregarious person and really just did think we were buddies I had to defuse the situation by sitting down with him and walking him through the joke, reminding him of the hotel room and everything

      And then we were buddies again We were totally friendly when we bumped into each other a few weeks after boot Of course, that was after he'd exploded again and gone after ANOTHER dude in our flight (who incidentally was a Marine brat, and not one anybody, even me, much liked)

      When I was in language training after boot camp, one of the things we were constantly threatened with was that of being "reclassified" if we couldn't graduate from our language program on time Usually to a much less prestigious specialty, that needed people

      So if you know me at all, you can imagine how this was kind of a Scylla-and-Charybdis moment for me I was given the task of learning Mandarin in a year and told that if I couldn't hack it, I might either be separated into the military or forced to become Security Forces

      I'd either be sent back to the suburban wasteland of Illinois and forced to live with a family that made me want to kill myself, or be sent to the military wasteland of central Texas and forced to live and work with cops who wanted to kill me Unsurprisingly I just learned 普通話

      I read that in Japanese as "normal speech" before correcting my brain to read it as Mandarin Chinese

      Honestly it strikes me as D&D as fuck that the word for Mandarin dialect in Mandarin is just "the Common tongue"

      It is ironic that the communists originally picked that term over 國語 ("national language"), the term Taiwan still uses, in order to be less culturally imperialistic, and now Taiwan is the one moving to protect indigenous languages while the PRC is aggressively attacking them

          seems like something else to file along the "People's Democratic Republic"/"Dominion" axis

          I guess it makes sense because "mandarin" is itself kind of an odd word to be the name of a language, since it very specifically reflects a class and not an ethnic group.

          It's "official Chinese" in the sense (at first) that it was spoken by the officials.
