Don't say "New Taipei Mayor Hou Yu-ih" — say "Mayor of New Taipei, Hou Yu-ih" because it's much less ambiguous. 🤔

📢 Dear #media in #Taiwan 🇳🇫,

😱 Don't say "New Taipei mayor (etc.)." Say "Mayor (etc.) of New Taipei." It's much less ambiguous.

💔 Love,
🐕 Tim

It's taken many years, but I've gotten my wife to use the word "#Mandarin" (#華語) in place of "#Chinese" (#中文) and to stop saying "#mainland" (#大陸)… most of the time. Teach by example. 😄

I have one of those names, but I call it my "#Mandarin_name" because we don't speak "#Chinese" 🇨🇳 (ex.: 出租車,西紅柿,視頻,菠蘿,三文魚,早上好,勺子,鼠標, etc.) in #Taiwan 🇳🇫. 😄
#華文名字.
