- Under the section "Usage notes," it says "English transcriptions of Chinese speech often fail to distinguish between the critical tonal differences employed in the Chinese language, using words such as this one without the appropriate indication of tone." 71.66.97.228 22:21, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- That just means that transcriptions of Chinese words into the English alphabet are often done without any tone markers. Nothing about nonstandard spellings. —Stephen 22:30, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
