It would be nice if you could find more contributors who are fluent in Chinese. This is an area that is sorely lacking in this space.

all Chinese-speaking regions of the world should teach both...after all, simplified is easier to write (I prefer it in handwriting even though I am fluent in traditional)

And what do the over 70 percent of the residents of Taiwan who identify themselves as Taiwanese use? Or residents of any of those overseas communities? I believe you mean "Chinese speakers". In any event, that would be a much more neutral term.
