(Everyone knows "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto") The more interesting one is the formal: "Domo arigato gozaimashita" The interesting part is that "shita" is pronounced "shta". Japanese is a much easier language to learn from Romaji texts if you "happen" to have the full set of "Mangaijin" (pun on "Magazine for foreigners"), and if you happen to know that it's SOV rather than SVO order for most sentences. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
