You don't speak Cantonese.

How can you possibly call yourself an intelligent person if you cannot speak Cantonese?

Well, Cantonese is a bad idea anyway.

(I don't like tonal languages because they interfere with tone of voice, and Cantonese has extra tones.)

Being able to read Chinese could be advantageous, and then I'd be less of an idiot, it's true.

I also prefer languages that are comfortable with being disliked.
