In response to your edit note:  it's 'senpai'　先輩 in kanji, believe.  [[User:Grimjakk|Grimjakk]] ([[User talk:Grimjakk|talk]]) 13:57, 13 September 2012 (CDT)
 

Somewhere along the long the line I thought sempai might be associated with females and senpai for males. Definitely seen the use of sempai elsewhere before so wouldn't necessarily dismiss it as a typo--[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow#top|talk]]) 11:19, 13 September 2012 (CDT)


Actually, there is really no "m" in Japanese.  There's 'ma', 'mi', 'mu', 'me', 'mo'... but the closest Japanese phoneme to the English 'm' is 'n'.  The word 'senpai' is spelled in hiragana as せんぱい(se/n/pa/i).  That's why some loan words like 'computer' are pronounced strangely コンピュータ (ko/n/pyu/ta).

Drowzy, you're not supposed to replace the curly double-quotation marks only for SAO project. Vaelis forbade it. What have you '''''done?''''' [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  09:16, 1 October 2012 (CDT)

I fixed your mistake. Leave it to me next time, okay? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  09:20, 1 October 2012 (CDT)

Ah. Actually, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Replacing the curly double quotes(“”) with typewriter double quotes("") drastically reduces the page size. And best of all there is no change in the look in view mode unless you do an 8x Zoom in or have really big monitor.

But the thing is... Vaelis believes that typewriter double quotes are wrong and curly double quotes should be used because that is how he's been writing on paper his whole life. And despite my explaining to him that electronic presentation allows it, he doesn't like replacing curly double quotes with typewriter double quotes. So only on projects that have Vaelis as administrator/supervisor we don't replace the curly double quotes. At least until he retires.

I'm really sorry, I really do agree with you though. But that's just how he feels and we can't go against him. '''However''', you '''can''' replace the curly double quotes with typewriter double quotes on projects that are ''not under his administration or supervision''. So replacing them on Campione should be okay. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  12:34, 2 October 2012 (CDT)
