and thats not a bad thing mind you.....

unrelated Japanese fact!!

Japanese kids usually have less exposure to computers. most of their email and internet is thru handphones. gaming thru consoles like PS2 and GC.

Japanese that use Persocon's are usually otaku recluses. Most are usually over 20 years old.

This attributes to the sheer lack of regulation of adult content on japanese computer games, while console games have to comply to a "CERO" rating system.

the explanation i heard from a friend last time was that "Otaku" was actually a way of addressing people at anime conventions. Since the japanese use of the word "anata" is considered disturbingly familiar, people who didnt bother to learn the other person's name usually addressed each other as "otaku" (your household)

i have no idea if this is true.

you know, i always thought that the n in pasokon was more like the "ng" sound in King Kong.... except a little more nasal

well, for input, my japanese class stopped with the romaji on the 3rd lesson after they had thrown the kana charts at us.

then there were the hundreds of kana practice drills. oh... the kana practice drills........
