I don't get it, it might be that the three "traditional" scripts are used in different geographic regions. That would be my guess. Actually I'm wrong. The following headline feature all four scripts.

Quote:

ラドクリフ、マラソン五輪代表[COLOR= "Blue"]に[/COLOR]1万m出�*�[COLOR= "Blue"]にも[/COLOR]含み

It translates to

Quote:

Radokurifu, Marason gorin daihyō ni ichi-man mētoru shutsujō ni mo ***umi

It translates to "Radcliffe to compete in Olympic marathon, also implied to appear in the 10,000 m"

So yeah, it's gotta be confusing.

Now I am lost. I can't even imagine...English gives me enough trouble.

It's crazy, innit?

**LilMouse** · 03-07-2009, 06:44 PM

the thread title should be we're turning Japanese

**BehrItAll** · 03-07-2009, 07:11 PM

I thought about that but then went with learning

Do people want me to change it?

Lost in Translation · 03-07-2009, 07:49 PM

I'm happy either way.

**LilMouse** · 03-07-2009, 07:55 PM

you don't have to change it. Learning fits more with our past convo.

Lost in Translation · 03-08-2009, 08:57 AM

There we go.

**LilMouse** · 03-08-2009, 09:27 AM

is it nice up in Canada, Janet? Yesterday was very nice here.

Lost in Translation · 03-08-2009, 12:48 PM

Oh yeah, we're above 0 now. In fact, it's been like that since at least Friday.

Oh no, I wish.

Right now it's 5, which is 41?

**LilMouse** · 03-08-2009, 03:43 PM

oh okay I was talking about 16 F - which is unbearable. 41 is like what NY is experiencing.

Lost in Translation · 03-08-2009, 05:40 PM

Sorry.

It's been a while since we hit 0 F, I doubt we'll plunge that low again before next winter, but I don't know for sure (obviously

) ARGH, we're expecting below freezing temps and snow tomorrow.

**LilMouse** · 03-09-2009, 05:22 PM

BOO to snow.

it was cloudy here today. I was annoyed because I was told it'd rain today and I brought an umbrella with me, but it didn't rain and I had to carry it around.

Lost in Translation · 03-09-2009, 06:15 PM

Aww, that sucks. The snow wasn't so bad.
