What is so "peasant"about it?? All languages and dialects are unpleasant and strange to others who don speak it. And you seem to have an inferior complex being a Sze yap?? Please don feel embarress about your heritage. I am behind you buddy. I am of Sze yap ancestry myself. Last but not least, here's wishing you and your family a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year.
