    I saw your post about the messed up faces in the Sims, and I was just wondering, which game was this in? And if it was in ts2 and you deleted the family the in-game way, whatever neighborhood they were in was corrupted because Maxis didn't code it right and it shreds the data. (If you did this before the glitch happened it might be the cause of the messed up faces)

    my curiosity is fueled by the fact I just bought ts2

    Reading books off a screen is kind of weird to me as well, and reading manga is even weirder, but I settled for it. I'm not positive where it stands now since I didn't see watermarks on yesterday's chapter, but in the past there was a manga website which reportedly had it for free legally! I can't... find it anywhere, though. I didn't plan on reading the manga originally either, but as you've probably heard, the anime is more of an exposition than anything else. It goes way deeper.
    kyeugh
    Yeah, I'm hearing that reason a lot from Europeans. The anime was pretty good, I agree, but have you read the manga?
    kyeugh
    It is! It's the only anime that I've finished so far but I love it. Did you like it?

    Heyo! It's your turn to command in your battle Vs. Sangfroidish, I'm mentioning it since the thread seems to have gone off the first page.

    Cheers!

    I actually had Fude Pen Ball Pen as one of my original picks, but I nixed it because I couldn't think of anything but "inflicts Attract on a Pokemon", and change Fuwa Fuwa Time to "changes a Pokemon's ability to Levitate", but that was too close to the effects of Tsubasa wo Kudasai, and I certainly wan't going to cut either their first song or their most iconic song, so FPBP had to go.

    In my headcanon, Wakaba Girls stayed together, and, ~4-5 years after K-on ended, both them and Houkago Tea Time got signed to the same label.

    I suppose that's true, but it doesn't look... English, really. I guess that's the point of a reform, though.

    That's true, though if there were an entire English reform to the point where "enough" would be spelt as "enuf," then none of those other problems would really be problems anymore, right?
    kyeugh
    English is weird. Someone needs to rewrite it. ...Apparently people have agreed for centuries.

    Wow, that's... mildly interesting. Although, if letters were always pronounced the same, it would seem weird. Instead of enough, we would get enuf, et cetera. It looks wrong.
    kyeugh
    Hm, that's really interesting. I'm glad you told me that. Did you ever learn why it's not like that in English?
    kyeugh
    Huh, that's... interesting. Welsh uses the same alphabet, right? So technically they were actually two letters, still?

    Yeah, passing notes around was just fun because you weren't supposed to do it. I think we were secretly hoping we would get caught so the teacher would take the note and read it and be confused, but they never did. Of course, when we wrote actual notes...
    kyeugh
    Oh, yeah, those always made me wonder. In reality alphabets aren't really like that, but I guess you can't expect everyone to put a load of time into their fiction.

    Windings was great, my friends and I memorised it and that's how we passed notes in elementary school.
    kyeugh
    That's fair, I guess. Did you have fun with it, at least?

    Well, yeah, it was a romantic language, so that was pretty much imminent. I based the conjugation on French, though, and borrowed stuff from languages that English doesn't really (like Icelandic, mostly), so it ended up fairly different.

    Alphabets seem interesting, though! Were they like ours, i.e. a letter for a few sounds and a combination of letters for others, or a letter for every sound, or...?
