Here's to hoping the next one is a bit more wholesome

@Gentlecat thanks, I fixed it

@min_schlaf Kanji hurts at first but you get used to it. Never be scared to try learning a new language

@GraniteNinja Yeah, storks only deliver to those with penises

@SaintNero that’s how they’re counted by Pixiv, I don't want to leave chapter gaps

Sorry about last time, forgot to export the image.

@henman "in someone’s wheelhouse" means that it is their area of expertise, something they are good at/experienced with/capable of.

Just fixed some stuff, reread the first volume because I got the official release and remembered カレクサさん (karekusa-san, Mr/Ms. Dried Grass) on page 19 was the name of Susuki's mother and I made an error when I called the Werewolf and Lizardman words for the EEEUU Goblin calques, they are in fact...

@ilvanezzo the "princess" as written on the card is プリンセス, the phonetic writing, as opposed to 姫, hime, the native word for princess.

@ahobaka Shit, just remembered I turn off the compression some time ago when I was troubleshooting upload issues. I'll fix that.

@Lomyr yeah, I remember once hearing that applying latin grammar standards to formal english language (in the context of criticizing a preposition at the end of a sentence or trailing infinitive) is like trying to cram a foot into an ill fitting shoe, and in my experience Japanese fits the shoe...

@gpl That's odd, in Spanish the word for linguistics is feminine so it definitely couldn't be Spanish either. I'm not exactly an expert on romance languages, although I did take a few years of latin.

@Himatago99 the same thing happens in The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length so I think this is just some old wive's tale that comes from a culture with no awareness of stretch marks.

@Zhou I mean there are cases of store exclusives in the West and of certain editions or box sets of books coming with special additional material (I unfortunately owned all the Series 1 Monogatari LNs before I learned about the box set), but I can’t think of anything like this I've encountered...

@xyzzy I think he was going to confess

I'll keep up my weekly schedule on this, Heterogeneous Linguistics is only monthly at most

@lazyoldman The latin alphabet is largely derived from Phonecian which also had a large influence on Hebrew, Greek, and other alphabets, which is why the first letter of Hebrew is aleph and in Greek it's alpha. A lot of seemingly disparate languages are interconnected at their core

@Bainhardt I'm very surprised to see my linguistics fix with a side of Bainhardt
