So how much do the Chinamen actually use these Chinese transliterations of English words, and how much do they just use the English word?

I will admit that having a novel character for every element on the periodic table is cool, and I will thoroughly fan my own balls by saying that I got to use my autism in that direction when walking past a Chinese scrap metal dealer by accident.
?
Magnificent.

I have heard Chinese math students talking in their incomprehensile language, then saying "ODE" or other math terms in the middle, but idk if that's just because they were learning in English.

What's the sitch?
