Just learnt a new word: 彻底/che4 di3, meaning thorough or penetrating. How? SMS. Texted lzh to find out why she wasn’t online even though she should be back in her office after lunch, her answer was “电脑彻底å??了”, which I understood fine, cos she’s been battling this fucked up lump of shit the entire time she’s been in this job, but I had to look up 彻底. So I think I’d translate her answer into 新西兰è¯? as “The computer is thoroughly buggered”.
Just so you know.
