Actually, Hoser, I would have preferred "other stuff". Yes, you sometimes can't say just anything on forums. Nobody can read your mind, and it's hard to fully understand one's feelings just by what you write.
No harm done, though, in the end. At least this isn't GP or Let's Japan! |
'Crazy' does imply a judgement call. How many times have I tried to explain that I'm not 'crazy' about the gun culture or the lack of mass transportation in many cities in the US? Too many times to count. I don't understand them either (and that with one member of my extended family with a hunting rifle).
Did I hear 'Let's Japan'? Yes, they are a bit outspoken there, but you see some opinions after you learn to ignore the insults. |

O.K., so I didn't double the consonent, punk. Have it your way, Japanese, obviously, ISN'T my L1. The meaning remains the same. Unfortunately for you, the less said, the better at communicating you are, the actual essence of sasSuru. I did say, go to an informant. Any retard knows that dictionaries are notoriously unreliable. They are riddled with the author's beliefs, views towards the target language, and cultural coloration of the words themselves...why the he** do you think that the #2 translation of "wagamama" in dictionaries is "willful"? Everyone will agree that that "wagamama" means "selfish"...which ALWAYS has a negative connotation, but the second can have a negative OR positive connotation bsed on the subject.
And, yes, I'm much more highly educated than you, probably, ever will be.
Now, GET OUT! You, young man, are the waste of time...and probably why, subliminally, you named yourself a "hoser'!
