A list of differences between 普通语 and 国语。 A lot of my Mandarin input comes from Taiwanese shows. I like those very much, I like the accent, and Traditional Characters. But also I'd like to be comfortable when communicating with Chinese people from all over China when I've reached certain point in learning Chinese. I know about some differences, 'cause those are obvious... like that z,c,s thing... omission of 儿化。土豆 means different things... use of 有 before verb... and so on... but this is not enough. So I'd like to find a list of differences in vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar between between 普通语 and 国语。So I would know which words I should use when speaking with people. For example the word 搞 gǎo is just ordinary word in Mainland, but a vulgar bad word in Taiwan. There are some list of differences in wikipedia but it's just too small. Can someone help me to find such lists?

臺灣人鮮用 質量 一詞 來描述貨物 (商品)的品質 而較常將 品質 (QUALITY) 與 數量 (QUANTITY) 二詞分開使用 質量一詞 是物理學名詞 指 物體內所有的物質總合。 質量是固定的,不因高度或緯度而改變。 而 質量數 則是指原子核中質子數與中子數的總合, 可用來區分一元素之各同位素的差別。 如鈾的兩個同位素,其質量數分別為 235和 238。

I agree with usaking. You need to use "普通话”in mainland,Taiwan/HK/Macao, you need to use"国语”or"华语”。It's very similar just as "中国人”and "华人”。
