Fact of the day! :-D

In some parts England calling someone "a Ladybird" used to have a similar problem.

''Its a play on words, "bird" originally was slang used during days when women were treated like things. Basically, you were likened to a small creature and like a small creature, less then human. "Lady" was a title even to high society women, but it was also used like "Madame" is used these days to indicate brothel women.''

''however, calling someone a "ladybird" also used to mean "sweet, small and innocent like a ladybird", so it came down to interpretation and location in England."

Hey even though its not much, if your not a native Chinese and are still buying the Chinese vocaloids (it happens in this fandom) even small notes can help a lot. Even if it basically just amounts to notes about use of words.
