Qomolangma

A woman starts out,

The New measured "hat" for Mount (etc)
So, I'm inclined to distrust (mistrust? not believe) her.
A guy took the trouble to make a video and he pronounces the "Q" like a "k".

Hellfire and heaps of sulphur be upon the a-hole choosing the letter "Q" for the english phonetic pronunciation of Chinese.
But I suppose I will have to find a dusty pronunciation key, many unreadable characters just to look esoteric. (No not me, the pronunciation key! O, why do I bother)

"Breathier," riiiight.
(sh)
AI mentions "Not the kw sound of english 'q' " which is plain wrong anyway.
In english, Q is married to U and they do sound like "kw" but it's the U!!
(My forehead vein is bulging)

ok FINE!
Let's go look up "Qing" (no "u") to see what happens.

I was only going to ask,
why "China"
not 
Qina
But then they changed it, so nevermind


Lets see if I have this correct, OK?
Even though this was way done yesterday,
I'm still really pissed at the official speller of english-sounding Chinese.
Xi sells (I got stuck, what is "s"?)

A blog I may never write (ever) is, um, hmm. Oh, *I* know, I'll find someone else who wrote about it.
Beeesides, "Licensed-image" in the name of a picture I was *just* going to upload, 
is kind of off-putting.
But generally....
Can you determine someone's projected personality, from their hairstyle???
(Or is that just me??)

I *knew* the Truth was out there, if I looked (I didn't look, not really)
