In page 117, there is a small piece about "Say 3 essential sentences, phonetically, in French, Spanish, and Mandarin".
Although the Mandarin phonetics for the first two sentences are correct, the last one is not.
"Yo ren hway shooah jong gooah hwa mah?"
有人會說中國話嗎？
Actually means "does anyone here speaks Chinese?"
The correct sentence should be (in pinyin):
yǒu rén huì shuō yīng guó huà ma?
有人會說英國話嗎？
Update: Aug. 5, 2007 - Emailed Wired magazine (rants@wired.com) regarding the error, I don't know if they will do anything about it.
Update: Aug. 16, 2007 - Wired emailed me back stating they are considering to publish my letter either in print or on their website.
Update: Sep. 30, 2007 - Wired magazine has printed a correction in their Oct. 2007 issue.
