Actually, it’s a little hard to figure out exactly what this article is saying, other than that there is soon going to be a new dictionary of Taiwanese done in Tongyong Pinyin. It seems to have been made not by a scholar but by a retired businessman, who spent five years working on it. But then the article starts talking about software and Microsoft Word. Does anyone have any more information?
