Another totally superfluous thread, but when I saw that image I just had to share with you :-) perhaps somebody here will tell us whether it is valid Chinese.

Found here: http://www.viralnova.com/awesome-kid-answers/, some of these have been floating around the ’nets for a while but some I didn’t know.


Cordially, Tom

It's traditional Chinese. The grammar seems a bit awkward, but understandable.

Edit: also, I thought the beginning is pretty interesting wording: "I'm living pretty terribly right here. The work environment is pretty bad and benefits are lacking. But don't worry, there are only about 10 people getting seriously injured every day."

I think I saw this before but didn't get the joke since "I don't understand Chinese". :roll:

Oh, this is homework for Chinese lessons? I thought this was expected to be answered in English and thought that the answer in Chinese alone was the joke :-D

I think you're right. I was just saying I failed to pick up on that the first time because I was too busy trying to read the answer.
