This. So hard.

I can forgive people not being able to tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese -- given two languages with writing systems so utterly foreign to native English speakers (or pretty much any Western language, for that matter), most people can't quickly and intuitively separate them into "kana" and "no kana." So if someone says "raws" in reference to something in Chinese because they think it's Japanese -- well, it's annoying, but I can let it slide.

It's when people say things like "Chinese raws" that I just want to bang my head into the desk. If you say "Chinese raws," I expect to see manhua. Even if it's scans of an official Chinese translation, I hate the term "Chinese raws." No one says "English raws" for scans of an official English-language version of a manga, why should Chinese be any different just because it's an Asian language?

The same applies to Korean, of course, but I don't see that problem as much.

As for scanlation vs. scanslation, I personally learned it as "scanlation," but the leader of my scanlation group says "scanslations," so I'm pretty used to it by now. I don't really care one way or the other.

Yes, this was what I meant! It's seeing people say "Chinese raws" that really annoys me.
