At this point I don't have Inferno/Nihongo blocked because this threads and Jamezz's posts are peak comedy. No comma i.e. "well it is true", not "well, it is true" There is always a space after punctuation Outside the academic world contractions are the norm, so it should be "it's", not "it...

That's why I said "On the danger of making an argument from authority". However, Tolkien was a professor of English Language and Literature with a keen interest in language itself and therefore his views do hold some ground when it comes to translating, precisely because he knew how hard it is...

First: Lady just refers to a woman of social superior status[1]. Using it just for "woman of noble birth", constraints the word too much, to the point of the statement being just wrong. Second: Even if the word had the meaning you state it has (which it doesn't), it would be fitting for Ellis...

One nitpicky thing I'd like to point out. For me Japanese honorifics always feel out of place in a translation, especially when there's a viable alternative available. For example, on page 12 you used "Ellis-sama", but you also could have used "Lady Ellis", which in my eyes let's the text flow...

Finally a good TL. Thanks for the chapter!

I don't need a native speaker to know that リッチ・ロードや" directly translates as Lich Lord. However, even that is a subpar translation, as the European concept of a Lord of Liches is usually called Elder Lich. Because, you know... Older undeads are stronger than younger ones and usually command...

Lecturing others on "basic knowledge" (insert mandatory XKCD 2501 joke here), when you don't even know what a "Lich" is, is very... lich of you. Not to mention that you fail at basic English grammar and punctuation. On a more scientific note: Japanese has a liquid phoneme /r/, which can...

Going by the setting and location of Capua, in real life she would most likely have an olive complexion. This usually mean that rose is a good colour (rose fits with almost anything) or a lighter shade of gold. Although to be sure you'd also have to look at the skin undertone, not just the...

While colours have a cultural significance (try wearing white at a funeral in Europe), you do in fact match clothing colour with skin after you have matched the clothing to itself. However, cultural colours have evolved alongside human looks and usually match that looks. You find darker tones in...

You're correct. It doesn't hinter the child at all. They will just learn both and become native speakers without problems.

In 2014, the EU had a revenue market share of 51.4%. In 2021 the US was just 4th on the revenue list. The first three are: Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. Five to ten are: France, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, UK, India. Germany alone produces more than double the medical drugs compared to the...

Your observations don't hold for most humans, as not everybody lives in the third world country called "USA".

When your desperate attempts to get people to your site just don't work because you accidentally do stupid stuff.

So is this 246 or 247?

If you make broad statements, then get ready to receive equally broad replies. Now that I think of it, Spain should've gotten most of the translations as well, seeing as Panini did most of the work back then also operates in Spain. I think only the UK was the major country not receiving anything...

Lol what? Germany, France and Italy had translated Manga way before NA did. I can remember Dragonball takubons coming out in German in the 90s. Germany also got (mostly) uncensored and dubbed anime like Kickers or Dragonball on TV. Sure it wasn't simulpub, but it was never far behind.

@Fulano01 Oh no! Humans act like Humans. In other news: Water is wet.

@A31D31N Because the author is an ex-JSDF enlisted who thinks old technology is superior to new and politicians and media are either scheming or at least inconsiderate assholes. I thought everybody knew this already.

@The5thSeraph What part of "these people existed before 1900" and "for the average human" in any way omits that these people exist? It's not a mathematical rule (in the analytical sense) like 1+1 = 2 or 0.999... = 1 (yes, that is true), but statistics doesn't work that way. In statistics we...

@The5thSeraph That doesn't make it less true. Every reputable study has show that humans are social in nature. Well yes, genetics are not Mendelian, but rather "Gaussian" in nature (see Fisher and Galton) and genes are passed on based on normal distribution. So trying to attack an argument by...
