Why does 这 seem to have a reversed stroke order? I use Skritter to learn characters. Does anyone know why 这 is written right-to-left? Or was this a bug in Skritter? ”这” 笔顺是右—》左为什么？ Every character I've learned so far has a left to right order. Examples: 很：彳->艮 谢：讠->身->寸 这：文->辶 Please don't say "it doesn't matter". I'm interested in learning about why there appears to be an exception to the stroke order rule. Maybe Skritter has a bug, or maybe I just don't see how it really is left-to-right.

1六月2017。我的日记。 工作今天很没意思。我爱我的工作，不过，我又时搜索故障不创作远吗。 什么都我的工作和那个可以。 我的意思是 （英文） Work was boring today. I love my job, but sometimes I search for errors (more than) I write code. (Actually says "I search for errors, not create source code"). It's all part of the job, and that's OK.

Choosing a Chinese name... (我的中文的名字） (fix for title: 我的中文名字) Can this work? 包推进 Or is it crazy to give yourself the surname of a historic Chinese political figure? I like the surname 包 because it sort of has a sound of my given surname, but mostly to be named after Bao Daizhi, "Edict Attendant Bao", fictional name used for Bao Zheng, Northern Song official renowned for his honesty (according to MDBG). (Also I really like steamed buns so I'm OK with the character being part of one of my favorite snacks). And I chose 推进 for it's meaning "to push forward, to carry on, to advance". At first I wanted 坚持 because it means (I think) "to persevere"... but it sounds a lot like a transliteration of "John".

28五月, 我的日记 我和恺乐今天去了台湾的节日。我们遇到了一个Meetup的朋友。 我们吃香肠和进而吃冰淇淋。都好吃。 我们也听见了台湾的传统音乐。 What I'm trying to write: Kai Le and I went to a Taiwanese festival today. We ran into a friend from Meetup. We ate sausage, and then we had ice cream. We also heard traditional Taiwanese music. Thank you in advance for any corrections. (PS: How do I say, "Thank you for..." as in "谢谢for..."? Is that possible in Chinese grammar?)
