Who's Criterion?

A critic or a mandated politically correct way of speaking?

It's in the elementary school where I work, and it's actually the mandated correct way of writing simplified Chinese characters in the PRC.

And I'm sure it's a reason why Chinese handwriting recognition seems to work so well, much better than English I've found, e.g. you must write the strokes in a certain order and direction.

Where's my chequebook?

EDIT:

Open a new account, you get free banking if you only use the bank's keypad security token, otherwise you get charged for every transaction. The reason is keyloggers, that might be present on whatever PC or Android device. Enter your PIN on the token, it can't be keylogged.

Neighbour gives me 30GB of copyright infringing materials on a USB stick, makes my job much easier, but then using and sharing for academic purposes in this country is OK.

Between the big iPhones and now the return of the stylus, err, iPencil, Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave.

Is iPhone really just now getting new-fangled long press, err, "3D Touch" technology? :p
 
I got the wrong book in the mail.

... same author, same primary title, but the secondary title is different, the ISBN is different, and the book I wanted was published two years after the one I got.

So, the question is: is it the same book, with different ISBNs because one is a paperback and the other hardcover? What differences are there between the two publications? Should I care and complain to the dealer whom I ordered it through, or just be content with what I have?
