i actually found it annoying. I recently watched the show, and to be honest I can see why it was cancelled. More hype was made regarding how great it was than actually how great it was.
In Farscape, one watching the show knew what the particular words meant due to context. They used singular words.
In Firefly, one did not know what the Chinese meant unless one spoke it or one read the subtitles. They used entire phrases.
