So are all of the "oppose" voters, and
in fact most
non-Mandarin-speaking Chinese, and most people who speak no variety of
Chinese but think they know something about it, smoking crack big
time?
I guess that makes sense -- after all, Cantonese religion forbids
crack, and those few Cantonese speakers who expressed opposition have
obviously gone astray.
Unless you're saying that every one of them explicity compared
Cantonese to written 'Strine (there are no books, newspapers, message
boards or movie subtitles in 'Strine for reasons other than
Australians making fun of themselves), then please don't put words
into my mouth.
