New item on ThingsImWondering:

How to write the sound that scissors make in Chinese (something like "cuts cuts") in Chinese characters.

Vocab word for the week: 伺候, which means something like "to wait on; to serve" but when used as an adjective can be used to describe somebody who does nice things for other people (I think).

UPDATE: Somebody can be called 难伺候 if they are fastidious about, or set rigorous standards for, things done for them.
