SPA. As in, beauty spa. Not sure why they always spell it with capital letters?

I hear 小'case' somewhat often.

Also hear 'case' used to refer to certain type of work assignments as well.

kenny2006woo,

You promise an essay on the announced topic, but on your blog you briefly introduce and present a list of foreign words you say (without much evidence) are the ones most commonly inserted into Chinese sentences, and that you have done this in order to safeguard your mother tongue from the ravages of ... well, actually, what is your purpose? ...麻烦你再说一遍好吗 ...

Thanks Lilee and Heifeng for your input and lansu for your comment.

To the target readers of my essay, namely people watching Chinese TV shows and/or reading Chinese news on the Internet often, it is quite clear that those words are the type I described, therefore it is of no great importance to present much evidence. One, however, can get enough evidence through Google if he wants to.

The essay was my humble attempt to protect the Chinese language from being corrupted by English words, of which many are misused and of course unnecessary.

Thanks, kenny2006woo ... Really admire your abilities, are you saying you never catch yourself "code-switching" ;-)
