Features: "" is renowned for its focus on "biting" into language. From its inception, it first "bit" itself, then continued to "bite" relentlessly. It moved from "biting" newspapers, journals, and advertisements to "biting" nationally renowned writers, using their works as targets for "picking flaws." This approach generated a "better acquainted through conflict" social effect. Famous writers like Wang Meng, Liu Xinwu, and Ye Xin sincerely supported the activity, willingly becoming "targets" for standardizing the country's language and characters. However, "" is not limited to correcting typos; it also corrects various errors in historical, cultural, and Western cultural knowledge in publications, and some articles even share small pieces of knowledge that are hard to find elsewhere. The articles are concise, witty, and engaging. In 2003, "" was particularly outstanding. "Locking on to celebrities" and "tracking the screen" kicked off the year, while "unforgettable" and "leveraging the theme" captured readers' attention. Traditional columns like "joint diagnosis by experts" and "article clinic" remained vibrant; there was also the grand celebration for its 100th issue, the involvement in organizing variant words and proposing suggestions to standardize their forms, and the focus on social language debates—all of which were captured in the 2003 annual edition.
