USC Professor Placed on Leave After Some Complained His Using of a Chinese Word

The complaining students are factually wrong when they say: &quot;The word is most commonly used with a pause in between both syllables&quot;. It isn&#x27;t. I heard it countless times when I lived in China.<p>This is just stupid.

This news report contains a short recording of the questioned lecture. His pronunciation is actually not that off.

The academic world has gone mad.
