There's a major difference between something that's been integrated into language over millenia and something that is essentially urban slang taken direct from its parent language. It's like only the word fuck offends you whereas more explicit stuff like kintama or manko or more insulting things like ama don't. It smacks of double standards stemming from your unfamilarity with Japanese swear words and the degree of severity they attach to sexual insults which is not that great in their language as english and thus other more common words fill that void. |

β | No actually that's not true anymore. Oxford Dictionary has begun to incorporate slang and borrowed words into it's list of english words. I think you do know what [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Dictionary Oxford Dictionary] is don't you? The most widely recognized English dictionary of our time. Actually I've said before that insults of a sexual nature are the ones that offend. Truthfully, I find Yoake's translations to be some of the best out there |

I found a small problem so I thought I might discuss it. I wanted to help but it kinda backfired. Anyway I've already apologized so can we drop this.

I apologize for any and all trouble I caused. I shall try to ensure such a discussion does not happen again. Now can we please stop before something worse gets threatened. But no. I do not like using that term. It just feels like my mouth just got filled with the worst tasting slime ever. But then again that is my opinion, just as it being fine is your opinion. I would say shit even in the worst circumstances, really. But then again that is me. Since now the rate of translation can be affected if I actually tried to explain I will not. I beseech you not to continue this, since I have the fault of seriously pondering and trying to answer any questions put to me, regardless of others intent (sarcasm or otherwise). It is a fault I will henceforth seriously work on. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 00:35, 23 June 2011 (UCT) |
