Jun 13	comment	Is マグロ always an insult? @Earthling: I fixed the answer because I don't know the gender of the person. Basically, I am saying the quoted passage is nonsense.

May 29	comment	Are there any common grammatical errors made by native Japanese speakers? @istrasci: Yes, that is the case when spoken, but omitting the `それ` in writing is not acceptable. Also, there is generally a better way to phrase the sentence in most cases, for example `私最近とても忙しいんです。なので、ちょっと予定が立てにくいんです` would be better as `私最近とても忙しいので、ちょっと予定が立てにくいんです`. (example taken from here)
May 29	comment	Are there any common grammatical errors made by native Japanese speakers? @istrasci: The `な` of なので is the same one as seen in `簡単な問題`, so grammatically it is used to connect 形容詞, etc. (called 連体形) to other words. When な is used at the beginning of a sentence, its incorrect because it isn't attached to anything.
May 15	comment	Why is 〜に受かる used to mean “to pass”? @Tony: I'm having a difficult time understanding your comment. In an example like, `星が見える場所`, the doer of the action is not indicated, unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying.
May 14	comment	Why is 〜に受かる used to mean “to pass”? @Tony: That form can mean different things depending on context. For example as a polite form or expressing possibility.
May 14	comment	Why is 〜に受かる used to mean “to pass”? @firtree: I'm not sure I follow, with に, whatever comes before is always the exam, or what is being passed or failed. With が it establishes who is doing the passing or failing. Is this what you are referring to? Also, I'm not sure how "the examiner" plays a role though. Could you provide an example?
May 14	comment	Why is 〜に受かる used to mean “to pass”? @Tony: It's に落ちる because you need to attain a certain level to pass the test, in other words you fall below that level.
May 14	comment	Why is 〜に受かる used to mean “to pass”? @Tony: 受かる was used to mean radio waves being received by an antenna, etc. (intransitive version of receive) (similar to "pick up radio waves" in English) Googling brings up some hits.

Mar 25	comment	How long would it take on average to learn japanese Reading text in video games is actually quite high level if the game does not allow you to pause to read the text. I would say it probably would take a few years.
