*Every single* Chinese name was butchered.
"Shi" was pronounced "Shee" rather than "Shr." Same problem with "Zhi." "Zhou" was pronounced "Zow" rather than "Joe." "Zhang" was pronounced "Zahng." The letter Q was pronounced as 'K' and not 'Ch' The 'e' in "Feng" was pronounced as 'E' as in "Enter" and not 'u' as in "Lung." As for Wang, the less said the better.
Sorry, it's just I so rarely have other Sinophone pedants who will both understand me and be annoyed when they see similar problems.
