Oh, “nothing to see”. Not at all how Chinese-accented English sounds, though. Used to play chess against a Chinese kid half my age, who enjoyed demolishing me. I learned nothing about chess except it was not my game at all. But I got the Chinese accent down somewhat. R and L are both W. Japanese confuse and switch them, plus add superfluous vowels because they have a problem with lone consonants. Chinese do not have past tense or future.

They also always sound like they’re singing when they speak.
