This stance is widely supported by foreigners, including Robert Taylor, a native of Britain who has worked as a translator in Taiwan for more than a decade. He acknowledges, on the one hand, that Hanyu Pinyin's use of "q" and "x" is highly counter-intuitive for speakers of English, since they represent morphemes that sound to the uninitiated English speaker more like "ch" and "sh."
這樣的說法，的確得到很多外國人士的支持。來自英國，在台灣從事翻譯工作多年的唐樂榕表示，漢語拼音固然有其缺點，比如ㄑ用 q、ㄒ以 x 來表示，極不符合英語系人士的發音直覺。
