Chuan fa

I was thinking about this the other day and it still awes me how our society dictates whether a word should be used over the other. I mean we know chuan fa is the Chinese word for  Kempo yet everyone recognizes Kempo before Chuan fa. Directly translated both mean law of the fist. one is Chinese the other is Japanese.
Yet society has a hard time accepting the Chinese version. With all this new technologies we create new words all the time. I recently discovered selfie is a new word. Meaning self portrait with your cell phone. This is now common knowledge. Yet we can't seem to create enough publicity for Chuan fa to be recognized in north America. People still want to know our style as Kempo or Kenpo.
I had pizza for supper, 2 slices. and lunch 2 slices, Then yogurt, and a  fruit explosion muffin. Shopping tonight for sure.
Was able to get another load of laundry done and put away , helped with dishes, took out garbage,swept floors.
