Our own versions of it do. That's what I was referring to.

Someone got on my case about it. And someone else defended me. ._., the drama over what is the right spelling when they're both considered right spellings..

I once saw someone flame a Sailor Moon fanfic for using Serina instead of Usagi xD


OxO law can be any size? D8 scary

I can understand the debate, some fans don't support dubs, like my best friend, anime IS more authentic in Japanese.

Still to get on your case about preferring the English name in a fanfiction is quite excessive.

I'm reminded of when I was driven out of a community once when suddenly the collective started bashing me for a spelling error in a fanfic I'd posted. There was way more to it than that but that is where it escalated from.

@n@ Dk is a terrible speller.. I rely on spellcheck =w= -pets PC-

(Kirara vs Kilala, technically its still the same name because of pronounciation. its like my name Jessie would be spelled Jeshii in japan. Candy is spelled Kandii (though im sure some americans spell it that way anyway) Logan = Rogan, Rin = Lynn, so on)

The sailor moon thing i saw was ridiculous though o-o i mean I prefer jap, but not everyone can or are able to watch subs..

Spellcheck has had to cover my ass at times as well.

I'm familiar with concept of American names having different spellings in Japanese, I took a couple of classes some years ago. They don't even have the beginning letter of the legal spelling of my name (C). Legal, because I started spelling it differently a few years ago. Instead the 'C' would be replaced with 'Shi'.

I can do my name easily enough, a friend from college showed me, but my last name is a nit different. x'D

*Laughs apples and cries caramel for DK*

...I have no clue how this happened...

[Demonskid]

Rum - Mom's name starts with a C but because of how its pronounced, in japanese she'd need to use K. xD

My point was more on the ones that started with L. ouo How we have to use R's to make our L sounds in japanese.


Law - -noms on the apples and caramel- nummy "<(>w<)>"

[ml1201]

And my last name starts with am L, which is why I mentioned it. XD

Right, 'C', can make two different sounds, my legal 'C' makes the soft sound as in 'cent'. So it would need to be replaced in Japanse with the closest sound to an 'S', which is ironic because the spelling I use now starts with an 'S'.

I understood your point and was adding my experience with the same concept.

That was the hardest thing for me when I was in Japanese classes BTW, I never could get the hang of Katakana or Hiragana.

[Demonskid]

I have a pretty good handle of both Kana.. its the Kanji QoQ


I have a Japanese Learning hangout somewhere. I wonder if it'd be ok to revive it o3o i should go ask coda.

I'm totally self study ;-; i can't afford skoolz, but there are a lot of awesome sites out there that help x3

[RedRum]

I kept all my notes and handouts from my Japanese classes, perhaps I could share them in your Japanese hangout.
