Tenses is hard

The original Japanese has everything past-tense though... :S --velocity7

  • I think that while translating you get the past-tense effect which screws up the timing since the original lines weren't present tense in the first place. That is also why you get some screwy English, despite having enough accuracy to get the idea. Even if you do a pure present tense conversion, it's still screwed up. The largest oddity is the segments that display current or just happenings that have slight ambiguity since they are both current and just happening, making either present or past tense plausible.
