Zhilin or Zhiling?

A friend of mine pointed out that the hanyu pinyin for 治霖 should be "Zhilin" instead of "Zhiling". "Huh? This is serious mistake!" I said. I double checked and confirmed that this is indeed the case, but it did have it right in the beginning (check this posting). So perhaps I've got too used to the -ing spelling in English that I have unconsciously added the "g" whenever I meant to spell Zhilin (gosh! it almost happen here again), and habitual mistake somehow became accepted as truth, until someone managed to spot and point it out!

It was an embarrassing mistake and I was tempted to inconspicuously change all the postings and pretend nothing happened (*grin*). However, as I was doing that, I thought that I have to preserve the integrity and authenticity of this site, and doing that would be acting otherwise (but still, I did update the profile and other permanent features of this blog).

So I have decided to come clean with it and hence this posting to explain it... and for the record, it is Wu Zhilin!

Thanks Joanna for spotting this BIG mistake! ;-)
