If that's your approach to understanding English, I can't even imagine what kind of inaccuracies you introduce when you "localize" works written in other languages. Why, at this point you might as well complain that the author is the one writing the manga wrong, seeing how you are going to...

Imagine complaining about validity of translation of a title of one page of a comedy manga as if language was some sort of absolute, unchanging object, and words within it — perfect representations of platonic ideas.

I can imagine it. Oof.

:thonk:

Yeah, and they are readable outside "Anglosphere", unlike this thing.

Lol, even Tiggy realises how bad cat breath smells

Well, I picked the first link google gave me. Which was wikipedia article that didn't put any importance on age groups, but hey, it's wikipedia! So I quoted the thing it quoted as a citation instead… which was Cambridge dictionary entry that did not put any importance on particular age groups...

So you picked one definition that explicitely excludes this example from being slang while ignoring every other definition that does no suh thing and you talk to me about confirmation bias? That's hilarious. You do realise that this overly narrow definition also excludes the officially...

I don't know what you think definition of slang is, but actual definition has nothing to do with age groups and everything to do with casual and informal vocabulary. Here's cambridge dictionary's definition, for example:

Phones these days are supposed to do anything. Just use the app that suspends your disbelief for you :V

Casual speech is slang-laden drivel. Nobody is going to use long-ass (or "verbose" for those of you with slang allergy) terms like "shortened language" when shorter words like "slang" do just fine.

Needs more SAME. 7/10

More like, threeweekly. Whole 21 days! Ugh. I hope this is only a one-time thing and we'll be back to weekly after that.

"Gods who don't even realise they are gods", huh? Is she hinting that Aqua and Ruby are actually reincarnations of Izanagi and Izanami or something?

I miss Sylvester's wacky side. He doesn't get much chance to show it in more recent novels.

It is a guild that claims to kill evil. It also claims to consider itself evil by its own standards. And using "evil" to fight "evil" is fine and all, but if they kill everyone "evil" except themselves, then they kill everyone else independently having the same idea. What they are doing pretty...

"N" is pronounced as "m" when it is before m, b or p, as in: "sempai", "kampai", "sembei", etc. "Senpai" and "sempai" are both perfectly valid forms to use in English.

Well, at least he's spacing out instead of going "oh, kissing you on the lips is such a normal cat thing to do".
