the Mandarin term for "a little" is "yi dian." literally "a dot".

but, if you are in Beijing, you replace the n with an R, rendering it as "yi diar."

My Chinese teacher has split the difference by writing it as "yi dianr". with dian being more standard and diar being more realistic.

but now I read EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) as yi diar. EDRs give.....a little security. yi dianr security.
