Honto dakedo, Packard-kun... I couldn\'t have put it better myself... I\'m just worried about Keiji being branded as such... But then again, he has a firm grasp of the language, and I think he won\'t slip up like those Baka Nihonjin Monomaneshi Anime Otakus, don\'t you think?

No offense Nova. This isn\'t directed at you nor any other anime fans in this board...

:lol::lol: None taken, Yumi. Although, admittedly, I don\'t use Japanese much except hai, arigato, baka, otaku, and probably Konnichiwa or soemthing if I know what I\'m doing. (Roleplaying, generally.. Or talking with other friends.) Sometimes I\'ll use what I hope isn\'t botched (Like, I\'ll point at an Anime villian and go omae o korosu! or Sore wa himitsu desu (Usually the latter... I\'m a Xellos freak), but, I\'m pretty sure any attempts I make at even trying Japanese sentances if I knew how would probably be really bad, because I learn alot of words from my friends or some other place, and I have been known to look some words up for naming porpuses. But speaking it? I\'ll stick to greeting someone and complimenting their cooking... ^^; Atleast, until I take some Japanese courses, something I\'d love to do. So... I don\'t MEAN to botch any Japanese I useor have used.... So... Eh... ^^; I\'m not offended. Just a really big baka. XP

Only men use omae, Nova. A rude term, meaning you, to say the least...

[font=Tahoma] Heh, I see all those concepts about danseigo and joseigo. I think anyone would use \"omae\", depending on the situation. Oh yeah, and do add a \"san\", not a \"kun\"[/font]:cool:

I told you I don\'t have any lessons in Japanese... ^^; I just pick it up as I wander online... x.x; I\'ll go hide now. *Does so*

Oh, you\'re setting a boundary? I understand...Packard-san.:cool:

[font=Tahoma]Eh, whatever you refer to it in English. So how long have you been learning the lang?
And what prefecture do you and Himeko live in? I probably live in the shittiest place of them all, Yokohama. Not to mention a lot of reckless drivers whom you\'d wanna beat the shit outta. But I guess they\'re everywhere no matter where the hell you go in this Goddamn world: P*gulps down his Asahi Honhama* [/font]

*Points to edit date on Packard\'s post* Gomen... I clicked \"Edit\" instead of \"Quote\"...(sheepish grin)

Otoosan put both of us in a home study program in english so we won\'t have any problems in school. I\'ve already graduated, but I\'m still learning. We used to live in Akihabara with our parents, but later on Himeko and I moved to Shinjuku because it\'s a lot closer to my new workplace. Why did Himeko come with me? I told Otoosan and Okasan that I\'ll take on the responsibiliy of raising her as thanks for bringing me up well. They accepted, but they told us we had to come visit every two weeks. Traffic is not much of a problem for us during \"the daily grind\" As we often walk to our respective places of work. The only time that it bothers us is when we go visit our parents. Most of the time though, we take the train to avoid hassle...:cool:

[font=Tahoma]Uh, I hate Tokyo\'s 23 wards even more. The place is so crowded. I usually avoid going there, despite being so close to where I live [/font]

You\'ll get used to it... Trust me... :cool:

Only if I could get to Japan any time to get the manga. X_X

I\'ve taken three Japanese classes and already I forgot how to speak Japanese, but I do remember some kanji, hiragana and katakana. Need to practice \'em more often... whee!

L33t speak BUGS me a lot. I tend to get violent with people who think they\'re cool with leet/hacker speak. XP Hackers DO NOT talk like that!
I would know \'cause my fiance was a hacker. ^^; Didn\'t find out until I was on one of my violent rampages in 1999 when some idiot decided to hack my site twice and put me in a foul mood where I was like \"@#($*@#()$#@ HACKERS!\" Then my sweetheart told me that he used to be a hacker, but it was accidental.
I still haven\'t found the dork who hacked my site, but since then, I\'ve moved my site to a different server which is secure now.

Uh, yeah, getting back on topic of Japanese. I\'m VERY interested in learning it and if I tried to type in Japanese, I\'d screw up because I ...can only speak formally. >< I keep forgetting informal forms.

*mumbles* Watashi wa baka desu...

Anyway, the whole omae thingie is from Gundam Wing, if I remember right. Nova\'s a Heero fangirl... (not to mention, she\'s also a fangirl of Treize, Zechs, and Trowa. o.O; I just like Wufei because he reminds me of my sweetheart... only my sweetheart is taller and not chinese, but he has the hair! u.u)

Zero: Kia has a thing for men with long hair. --;

Quiet, Zero.

Yeah wut packard said.
