“Bing chilling” went viral due to John Cena’s pronunciation. It comes from 冰淇淋 instead of the other way around.

What is the meaning of 仅仅 in 仅仅复印、整理和把这些资料输入电脑就用了8年?
仅仅 means “only” but as 仅仅 goes before 复印…, it means “only those 3 steps” instead of “only 8 years”.

How to type U+3001 IDEOGRAPHIC COMMA on a chromebook?
I’m not familiar with your specific environment. I wonder what happens if you press "\" with the Chinese input methods. Usually pressing "\" in full width mode will get you a "、".

What's the tone change rule for when a two-syllable word is made up of the same exact third-tone syllable?
@joehua Ah, I see your point. Yes, it’s pronounced like 23. I’m just used to writing 33 words as 33 instead of the actual 23 due to tone sandhi.

@joehua For example 好好学习 in this link is hǎo hǎo. For me, hǎo hǎo sounds formal (and more “correct”) but I often say hǎo hāo anyway.

I don’t think people say hǎo hao in your 2nd example. It’s hǎo hǎo (sometimes also hǎo hāo).
