Becky, I would be delighted to do so. The only difference is that the simplified characters have fewer strokes than traditional. And not 100% of all traditional characters were simplified: only the most common ones were.

As an example, Becky, the following means "East":

Traditional: 東
Simplified: 东

Wouldn't a fag actually prefer more strokes?

You always disappoint me, Becky. You get so close to having an actual, intellectual discussion, but then you turn it into some sort of juvenile insult. It's like you are Lucy, and I am Charlie Brown.
