Mesdames et Messieurs,

take a look at the poll. All the T-people (Tacolicious tak Talmann and Thyatira ) are for the 'Taijituan'. If not the T-people should know better what T-aijitu-based adjectives or adverbs should look like, then who, I ask you?

This is a remarkably interesting observation.

I am assuming you count The Wonderful PUR  as a W or P person...

Taiji: Informal

Taijitan: Formal

The lighting fox has spoken!

Also, notice...it's the Taijitan Code of Laws.

Dammit.  How about we just call everyone/everything Taiji?

OK...what about Tai?  Sure, we might have to change the currency's name, but it would work.

I will stand behind 'Taijituan' both firmly and steadfastly, unto death.  I hereby designate PUR as my beneficiary.  All my Tai to you, dearest, at the time of my demise.

Because, of course, "Finish Her" doesn't sound like double entendre at all.

I've used all forms of the word at some point or another, though I tend to stick with Taiji, as it's shorter, easier, and does not insist upon itself as much as the other two. I don't think any is superior to the other though.
