| Mr Khan said: Translating Japanese is hard I'll repeat my previous grievance: These people have three perfectly good alphabets to work with, but they still cling to this incomprehensible Chinese-derived character system. It takes a good fifteen minutes for me to derive a single word, and then i kick myself because i totally knew that word if it had been written in a system people can actually understand |
Yeah I always wondered that... People claim it is for cultural reasons as well as "clarity"... Knowing what a word is. I say BS on that. There's something called context, after all!
