Also: correct usage of quotation and other punctuation predicted! Grammar not necessarily included in Ziyad's firmware upgrade, but considered a syntactical engine rewrite that will likely be introduced during the kernel upgrade later this year.

06 Feb 2005 00:19 staff Nephtis Vapid Buttmunch online \| PM \| e-mail	Can we try to install a module that allows Ziyad to also spell Japanese names correctly? Hideo Minaba has an 'i' in it, and such firmware upgrades often come with really good patches for such errors.
06 Feb 2005 07:57 staff Rahul Face of Square Haven online \| PM \| e-mail	Zing!
06 Feb 2005 09:28 staff Ziyad Nerd Patriarch online \| PM \| e-mail	Yeah, because Japanese characters translate directly into English, right? In any case, take your quips to RPGamer; I used their translation. I also fondly recall your majestic grammatical perfection being highlighted recently, Nephtis.
06 Feb 2005 16:18 staff Nephtis Vapid Buttmunch online \| PM \| e-mail	Yeah but my majestic grammatical perfection isn't as bad as one from an editor of a large SquareEnix fan site. If I was working for such a site, I'd have to make sure my spelling was good, especially things relating directly to SquareEnix. And yes, Japanese characters DO translate directly into English characters, we have 'romaji' which is Japanese words written with English letters. I'm aware of my recent grammatical perfection, but I'm only a common Vapid Buttmunch, you're an 'admin'. Hehe.
06 Feb 2005 20:08 staff Ziyad Nerd Patriarch online \| PM \| e-mail	Great. Now go wage a crusade against a one letter Romaji difference. I am not nor am I familiar with anyone who is fluent in Japanese; as such, I pick a credible source and trust it--any errors would be self-perpetuating, rendering any cross-reference futile. That's why I put my effort into more important things, like subject-verb agreement. Now drop it.

07 Feb 2005 07:56 staff Matt Vapid-in-Chief online \| PM \| e-mail	hey, grammar check is a google ad at the bottom of this page now.
08 Feb 2005 16:23 staff Nephtis Vapid Buttmunch online \| PM \| e-mail	Ziyad, while you're putting in all that effort regarding subject-verb agreements, perhaps you'd like some free simple lessons in Japanese. Between my bad grammar and your incorrect use of quotation, I'm sure we'll get somewhere eventually. :)
