Trigger Heart Exelica for DC

[Frogacuda]

I don't know anything about this Recap drama but

"Yossi" is a valid romanization of ヨッシー

Kunrei romaji format: Yossi
Hepburn romaji format: Yosshii
English simplification of Hepburn romaji: Yoshi

There is no set standard for romanization. Kunrei and Hepburn are the most often used. But there's no rule that you'd even have to adhere to those, as ヨッシー = Yoshi demonstrates.

It was Yossy, not Yossi. And he claimed Yoshi was actually wrong, and that the character had a different name in japan.

[Tsubaki]

And I would rip into your Yossi thing a bit... but I don't really feel like reigniting that shit again.

I invite you to try.

ヨッシー is Yossi (Long i) in Kunrei romanization. End of story.

[Finch]

Yossi desu ne.

don't get the wrong idea, half <3 Tsubaki because he likes good games, and rally, i believe what he says. it's just that i think desu ne after anything is funny in a "the way my dad thinks he's funny but no one else does" way, until i remember those obnoxious girls on youtube.

[mollipen]

ヨッシー is Yossi (Long i) in Kunrei romanization. End of story.

And NO Japanese person would pronounce that word "yossi," thus it's pointless if some form of romanization would spell it that way, because spelling it that way is dumb.

[Recap]

Sticky!

And he claimed Yoshi was actually wrong, and that the character had a different name in japan.

If you can quote me on that or anything remotely similar I promise you I'll leave TNL. Forever. But since you can't, this proves who's the true asshole here.

See? It's statements like this what shows TNL's intelectual benchmark.

I knew I was going to love this thread.





Also:

btw, he still owes me a giant "thank you" for proving what he couldn't in the Legend of Heroes thread.

What?

[Punky Skunk]

My opinion IS more qualified and relevant than any other here.

this proves who's the true asshole here.

It's intellectual; and shidoshi bangs Japanese chicks around the clock, he learned that shit through osmosis.

You're right, but what you did say was even dumber

Of course, Nintendo has established "Yoshi" as the official form for their character's name. But I always keep the romanized form found in official logos, if it exists. So I will use "Yoshi no Cookie", but also "Super Mario: Yossy Island", even if you or the Big N don't like it.

So you were deliberately romanizing a word in a way that you knew to be wrong, counter to how the word is pronounced, and following no romanization standard that actually exists, and insisting that was somehow more correct. That's much stupider than just having a misconception about the name.

[Recap]

You're right

So you're a true asshole?



Edit:

counter to how the word is pronounced,

Try to avoid statements on things you don't have a clue about. You'll thank me later.

[Frogacuda]

No, but I was wrong on that point, and will admit that.

It is true that you really made no attempt to justify the fact that you use "Yossy" with any semblance of an argument other than to be an ass. You later claimed in that same thread that "Yosshii" was correct (and in a sense, that one could be, though romanizing phoenetically in the presence of an official romanization is really stupid), but calling it Yossy Island is and forever will be remembered as the worst and least successful attempt at being an elitist Japanophile in the history of TNL.

So why exactly do you think you opinion is more qualified again? Because you ran a great site (insertcredit) into the ground? Because you think artifacting caused by dated display technology somehow enhances the visual experience? Help us dummies out that can't follow, Recap.
