heaven sent for 'bananas'

A friend has introduced me to a most useful software : NJ Star Chinese Word Processor, which can convert chinese words into pinyin (the phonetic equivalent of chinese characters), among others. You can later highlight a specific character to obtain its meaning in the software's resident dictionary. Another newly discovered feature (hence the chinese words in my blog and my msn nick : p) is...hmm....u know how u can type chinese words in microsoft word by insertin the pinyin and then choosin the appropriate chinese character ... People who don't know chinese will not be able to identify which character is the appropriate/relevant one. But this software provides the meaning of each possible character as well - ths enables one who only knows spoken chinese to actually produce a written document in chinese! And they even have a cantonese input method : D (which is great for me cos my spoken cantonese is much better than my almost non-existent mandarin vocab)
Oh, and, 'bananas' is slang for people who are yellow on the outside (chinese) but white inside - But then again, I generally don't think one should be labeled a banana merely because of his/her not knowing the chinese language.
