No, we have shown you examples of schools and newspapers, of books and
musics, and every single one you just label as an exception.
Even if the whole world wrote in colloquial Cantonese, I'm shore you
will call them all exceptions.

I have been called talking "crap". I would appreciate if you can argue
using facts and not simply call other people's opinions "crap" too.
The HK government has a page explaining and
giving links to a code that
has all the Cantonese/Hong Kong-specific characters that the standard
Big5 code might not have. I don't know what is formalising if this isn't.
Here, you can see for yourself:

All languages can be written down in one way or
another, if the language
speakers want to.
Maybe you can. But has majority of the Hong Kongers start writing
Cantonese down?
And there's no evidence that most Cantonese
speakers would object such a
proposal. The three Cantonese speakers who had said anything here are
Felix, Cathy, and I. I doubt we three are the only Cantonese speakers on
this list or on
zh.wikipedia.org.
Well, that I should ask you people. I find myself engaged in a flame
war with three persons whose total number of contributions to
Wikipedia are less than that of mine alone.
And remind you, if you have not already known, one of Chinese
Wikipedia's founding member, [[User:Lorenzarius]], was from Hong Kong.
And he was one of the main opposer of splitting Chinese Wikipedia into
Simplified and Traditional version before there was a conversion
script. And [[User:Tomchiukc]] is still an active Hong Kong
Wikipedian.
Chinese Wikipedian community is relatively small(if you count active
contributors, I think there are less than 100), and to have 2 very
active users from Hong Kong is already an achievement, considering the
percentage of Chinese users in Hong Kong in comparison with mainland
China.
I'm now beginning to think that showing you
the evidence when we find it
is pointless, since you seem to be holding onto your stance based on
emotions rather than facts. Any time Felix or I try (tries?) to show you
something, your reply is the same: oh, that doesn't count, that's just
an exception.
Because you are showing me exceptions. I am sure your being able to
sit here and write means you should be able to understand what is
"widely accepted".
