sadly first half part memo is vanished because of crash of firefox.... but I remember that there is no high ones except for one I posted in Talk page. If you have free time, please decipher this Engrish and post it on Talk page!

Wow half part is survaged! ( still in progression)

  • lowest Koizumi is a bit ruder.
    Koizumi squinted his eyes and raised his lips slightly upward, arms crossed in front of his chest, legs resting on the table.
    • correst: crossing legs.
  • culture Translation note "Gakku" is needed
    original: I ended up in North High due to my results,
    correct: I ended up in North High due to Gakku,
  • low 'the pot calling the kettle black'
    'the pot calling the kettle black' is somewhat not equivalent the corresponding Japanese saying.
    • more explanation about the context in which it is used is essential to rationalize this suggestion....
  • normal
    I'm not planning to wear this to lessons, so is it really important? Don't you agree with me, Mikuru-chan?” “Eh? Ah… Yes… But if we're forced to go home just because we are wearing this then…”
    correct:I'm planning to wear this only after school not in class nor my way to school, so is it really important? Don't you agree with me, Mikuru-chan?” “Eh? Ah… Yes… But It's too embrassing for me to wear this in my way to school…”
  • low more smooth cource of story
    Haruhi looked at me with a face of displeasure. I suddenly felt as if my emotions resembled those of a shrimp sensing the presence of a whale nearby, and immediately ran for cover behind Nagato.
    correct:Haruhi looked at me with a face of displeasure. I suddenly felt as if my emotions resembled those of a shrimp sensing the presence of a whale nearby. However Haruhi jumped behind Nagato, who is silently reading the book.
    • Haruhi is hinting the answer of the sequenced question with moving near Nagato. btw I feel moe from this behavior of Haruhi...
    • And haruhi bring her finger to the shoulders of Nagato, because she is very near Nagato.
  • culture Suzumiya-san
    • correct: Suzumiya-kun
    • high-up students such as the student council president uses "<male/female name>-kun" as very polite attitude, in this case, as a feigned polite one.

    • haruhi turned his head
  • culture“It seems we were quite successful. It's perfect, really perfect."
    • an onomatopoeia "tyororon" feeling is missing. "tyoroi" is a colloquial word. This derives from "tyoroi". "tyoroi" means "easy" in English. Does English have the counterpart?
  • lowest swung the connector of the extension cable while thinking about the fact that this third year president actually allowed us to borrow their power source just because of this.
    • "just because of this"??? because of the awesomeness of OS made by Nagato? <- this is wrong...

    • corresponding pages in Japanese is 35-36.

  • high “The Revenge of Nagato Yuki will open during the spring cultural festival!” that Haruhi screamed at the end?
    • spring->fall
    • usually cultuaral festival is hold in fall in each year.
  • normalTaniguchi even talked about how much blood he spilled just to produce his article back then.
    • ple on the director’s table.
    • directors table??? maybe "table in front of Nagato"
  • normal"I attempted to concentrate on the story book in front of me as I tried to stop my curiosity from wandering further…" and the last paragraph is enough a mismatch to retranslate it.
