Kin Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Man... I do hope the Japanese people are better at English right now.. they should be right now? Quote
Wes Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Man... I do hope the Japanese people are better at English right now.. they should be right now? I swear the same thing is happening over here - some domestic clothing companies are paying foreign-language experts who abuse said privileges for the sake of humor. Honestly, do you really know what those shirts with all-Asian writing on them actually mean? btw, Kin your new avatar rocks the house! Quote

Honestly, do you really know what those shirts with all-Asian writing on them actually mean? Wes brings up an intresting point. First of all i dont think the english of japanese people has improved however, we get the same thing over here. I was in a pepboys shop to pick up some part wth a friend one time like a yr ago and someone who we shall refer to as import ricer #1 decides to look at the import ricing er racing merchindice and remarks "wow its the japanese symbol for acura" i look at him and say "dude, theres no kanji for acura" my friend and i (both japanese majors) laughed as he didnt beleve us. it was quite funny. so i guess you can say the whole abuse of lanuguge goes both ways.

Kin Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Actually this shirt is quite cool! And yes... sometimes we just don't know what those Japanese/Chinese characters mean.. But I suggest you ask for it before you tattoo it for life Quote
