Kind of like there, their, and they're? Every language is going to have their quarks. There is no 100% clean language.

well, gibberish is pretty clear... or maybe its merely consistent in its inconsistency...

No, like they will shout "ma", and then say it slowly, and then wave the sound up and down and it means three things.

If you pronounce these words the same way, you have an absolute speech deficiency. You can fix that. Visit this guy: http://www.thedialectcoach.com/


@BD: Má, Mã, Mà? No, not crying for my mommy, just.. different ma's, different caps. Or was that monks.

that was almost a complete repetition of what I already said! *slap*

Further proves my point, There are slight difference in sounding of "there" to the others (though the spelling is different, but so is the case with ma when spelled right) making them mean different things depending on how you pronounce them. For me "they're" is a little different, but "their" and "there" I pronounce the same.

Your point is linguistically invalid. -_- While it may *feel* like you are right, you are not.
Additionally; ma is spelled ma in Chinese regardless of intonation; my spelling was simply illustrative. You might have noticed the Chinese as a rule do not use the Latin alphabet. You might have been closer with the Vietnamese who actually try to use diacritics for their every way of pronunciation (and fail miserably, but that is the case with most artificial languages, ref. Esperanto).

You all smell like butter.

oh, what now?

LOL, miss know-it-all over there. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert in linguistics. I talk out of my *** alot, but whatever. Too lazy to actually look anything up. You can have the argument, whether right or wrong. Doesn't really matter to me.
