Correction, I don't think English is Golandra's first language so s/he probably doesn't realize the negative connotation associated with that abbreviation.

Here's how the world works. You either speak broken but forgivable English, or you get to make fun of other languages for being 'overly cryptic' and 'not putting spaces in between their words'Originally Posted by Ichthyos
You don't get to do both. I don't mistake being a fool for not knowing flawless English.
There was an idea on KI asking if anyone had tried to desynth the temp goblin drink to try and find out some of the materials? If it is possible its a great idea :wink:
I believe that would make it the world's first desynthable food/drink.Originally Posted by Sorkura
Well, i can.
I write jap or jap. or japanese, that doesnt matter in my eyes. Its a chat forum.
I didnt write Jap with a capital.
But you have already seen, ive set a point behind to prevent any racistic meanings.
What do u know about the japanese langugage and how cryptic it is.
It isnt very funny to hear some japanese scientist at symposiums. They have translated speech scripts, horror. They cant often understand their own japanese scientific papers. When i ask a japanese student to help me out with those e.g translate the summary of an paper --> he is more or less helpless, when there are specific words in the text he doesnt know e.g. chlorophyll or cell specific compounds and translation programms are clueless too. When i even dont know where a word begins and the other ends, you cant find the correct meaning. The japanese katagana and hiragana signs have advantages. You can compress a lot of text at one page and "fast reading" is possible.
The downsite: Japanese students even forget their own signs after a time. New created words of the 19th- 21th centuary are not so easy to implement. Often they combined old signs to a new word like tree+house or something, now we need to go over the text to recognize the actual meaning of those combined words.
Its my personal opinion, that they need spaces between signs, which explain one word. You don't speak without intonation and wordspaces , do you?
Anyways. i don't make fun about any language or any culture. It's bad enough that jap without a point, let you think about nigger especially when its obviously an adjective.
This was totally offtopic; back to wolfman and the rot-tea. Does anyone know a FFXI-database, which allows to search for words in the item description?
I LOVE when people try get into arguments by starting stuff like this. They always get owned.Originally Posted by Correction
I guess we should stop trying all juices and vegetables as well then, since they also have other uses in the game >.>Originally Posted by Not Kuno
your capitalization is totally inconsistent.Originally Posted by Golandra

Back to the subject at hand...
When forming a new sentence, you capitalize the first letter, of the first word in that sentence. He wrote, "The downside: Japanese students even forget their own signs after a time."Originally Posted by layoneil
"The downside:" is not the beginning of the sentence, so he is correct to capitalize the word, "Japanese".
It sounds like he might understand the language alittle more than you might, my friend...Originally Posted by layoneil
Different words can have different meanings, depending on how exactly they're written, or how they're phrased...
So to say that his writting the word a certain way, does not matter at all, is really looked upon as ignorant.
It's bad enough this thread is constantly bumped with the same useless crap that was posted in this thread and the one before it already but can we at least rise above a derailment on language techniques and political correctness?
I don't believe this by any means, but it's worth posting, since we're all desperate. Anyone else heard of this craziness?![]()
Genmu, on Seraph server said~

lolI bought Libation Abjuration off Dabih Jajalioh (Ru'Lude Gardens)
Ask Amrita who told him that it pops from a cursed beverage. Sounds akin to the vile elixir theory.![]()

Yup, and Ridill is going to be added to the Tunnel Worm's drop list at about the same rate as Flint Stones. Ridill will be like the new 2-Leaf Mandragora Bud, you keep one in your mog house just so you don't have keep throwing them away in PTs.
