DON'T include the entire digest in your reply, PLEASE. It's rude and annoying; just quote the relevant parts! thanx BTW I was going to explain otaku but I was getting into some really specific details in Japanese language and I am not sure if I'm remembering it all correctly so I'll give it to someone with a greater linguistic/cultural background than humble me. *^^* Comments on the difficulty and sheer chaos of English - after I started taking Japanese I really appreciated to a huge extent that people can even BEGIN to learn English as a second language! It's INSANE! Japanese _is_ a cakewalk compared to English - it's at least got some kind of structure to it. ^^;; I have so much respect for anyone who can learn English after a langauge like that. *^^* Granted it is difficult to get used to because English is my native language, but I never really appreciated how difficult and completely nonsensical English is until I had the experience of speaking Japanese. ^_^V ******************************************************** "our songs are alive like little creatures." - Nicholas Godin * the humble mibat hath put her hand hereto.. * * e-mail : mibat@subdimension.com * * web : http://miyu.simplenet.com/ *
