  Unintentional name shortening: "Japanese"Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Search for Posts by howl_chan_wa_kawaii Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

I just wanted to say that one of my posts had the subject name "Howl's Moving Castle Special Edition Pre-Order Started - Region 2 Jap "

I actually typed the subject as "Howl's Moving Castle Special Edition Pre-Order Started - Region 2 JAPANESE VERSION"

but I didn't know that the subject characters were limited and the word "Japanese" was inadvertently cut off at "Jap".

I myself being Japanese, know that the term "Jap" can be very offensive and considered racist so I just wanted to post this to say that it unintentional and I hope no one was offended by it. Or if they were, that they understand that it wasn't intentional.

Peace and love!

i see.
it was cut off that position in which the meaning was involved by accident.
i have not seen use actually. because there might be a being worried person, i think it is good idea that Jiji changes it to "JP".

"I" meaning "Love" in Japanese.

It is indeed very sincere of you to make an open apology . I am sure no one will blame you for an accident that you weren't even responsible for to start with. It was simply the fault of the bulletin board system.

Anyway I have changed the topic of the thread in question to "Howl's Moving Castle Special Edition Pre-Order Started - R2 Japanese"

Because:
"Love" = "I"
"I" = "human"
"human"="sin" (according to the Bible)

Therefore:
"Love" = "sin"

Off-Topic:

How about this?

"Time"="Money"
"Money"="Greed"
"Greed"="Sin"
"Sin"="The Devil"
Therefore-->
"Time"="The Devil"
