seems like this thread has been resurrected for no apparent reason....

not Chinese here, but someone who learned to speak and write in Taiwan and HK I find it just a bit annoying....I can do it, most if it....and all the Chinese I write to never complain at all when I write them in traditional characters....they even have started writing back in traditional characters to me....think they're basically interchangeable since most of them are the same anyways...
