Good stuff from Jan

In other cases, yes. In this case, no. Hanzi the zi is essential to
the meaning. And in pinyin is is written with no space. Anything else
is an error.

Which was exactly my point - that the Zi was separated in this
instance to distinguish it from all other instances where it was not.
Try reading what is said instead of proving something of no interest
to anyone else, including me.

Look, [censored], you are the winner. Knock yourself out, pat yourself on
the back. You are numero uno and I am awe in your knowledge. You have
totally proven my orignal explanation wrong and you can take pride in
something for a couple of days. I personally don't give a [censored] - I
gave you an honest explanation of the why-for of a minor point and you
seem to think that it is a major issue. You need a reality check on
life at this point. Get it from someone else. I don't have any more
time to waste with you.

Have a good summer. Now find another hobby.

You're not making any sense. If you're talking about the word meaning
"Chinese characters" or "Chinese writing", it has to be written with
no space.

What you said is nonsensical.

Look, [censored],

If you say stuff that is factually wrong in a public forum and then
defend it with nonsense, you should expect people to criticize that.
If you are in the habit of defending nonsense, then you should learn
to deal with it rather than calling people names.

It may have been honest in that you believe it, but it's still wrong.

If you had just said, "Sorry, I'm not really that familiar with
pinyin" then it wouldn't have become a "major" issue. But you keep
going on with nonsense. You should have just stopped.
