Well, no. People take the time to read what I have to say when I write to them. It's called business. Kanji has nothing to do with it. If you lived here you would know.

Sorry, but I have to agree with Charles on this.

I live and work in Japan. If people can't understand what you write, they move on. I know this from experience, both in writing English and in writing Japanese. If someone has to take time to decipher what I have written (even though it is important they do so) they often don't bother. Human nature, and I doubt it is much different between Japan and any other country.

Dude, whatever your smoking, it's either very good or very bad... Either way I have NO idea what you are talking about.

(But hey, if you're entertaining yourself, have at it man... Whatever floats your boat! :lol:)

This is such a fun thread, I can't wait until it springs up from the dead again next November or so... 8O



I gotta say thought I disagree with the "gripes" about the test though, I think thay are valid. Language is culture and content. If you know it then you know it and unless they seriously go out of their way to be complicated and semantic all that sneaky shit is part of the test. Of course you feel cheated on those things at first but when you pass you will come around to the other side. Speaking of which this is most awkward in that I have agreed with Chucky-boy on something (you did it too lurker!) I feel so... ashamed :oops:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

All my recent posts have been deleted/wiped.

I think this is meant to be "part of the bikkle's joke" :roll:

If I am not mistaken, I think I hear the sound of collective FG laughter. :lol: (Be a sport and show you can laugh at yourself.)
