May 14	comment	Come to ～: ～てくる vs. ～ようになる @istrasci: Out of context, it's difficult to explain the fine nuances.
May 14	comment	Thank you for X: ～をありがとうございます @Matt: Actually, the way you explained it in your comment was what I intended. However, I guess my explanation didn't come out that way...
May 14	comment	Thank you for X: ～をありがとうございます @Matt: While you make a good point, keep in mind the shortened for ありがとう can mean both, and since in modern times ありがとうございます simply is a polite form for ありがとう, it would naturally fit that を can be used even if the original meaning of ございます is technically not allowed to do that.

May 12	comment	Did ありがとう come from Portuguese “obrigado”? Thanks, I have often noticed a lot of published books about Japanese written in English have false information (first paragraph of 2.1.5).

May 11	comment	Difference between 丸い and 円い +1: I tend to agree, just remember there are certain "special" words that use `円い` instead, for example `円い月` and `円い人柄`.
May 11	comment	Can there be such a thing as のんでましょう？ Tsuyoshi Ito gave the correct answer, so technically you marked the wrong one as the correct answer IMO.
May 11	comment	Can there be such a thing as のんでましょう？ I feel like it has the sense of 飲んで待ちましょう, but I can't tell why.
May 11	comment	Difference between 丸い and 円い @dainichi: Unfortunately, I don't have any evidence, so maybe I shouldn't say it is wrong, just more common as you mention. Also, you make a good point about まる only can be written as 丸, that is the reason we have 日の丸 and not 日の円 because the 訓読み for まる is 丸 only.
May 11	comment	Difference between 丸い and 円い It should be noted that you can write `丸く描く` but you wouldn't write `円く描く` even if drawing a circle on a page.
May 10	comment	Is タオル used for the towels used at onsen? @AndrewGrimm: I know that Yukuta were worn after bathing and one of its purposes was to dry oneself off (in the Edo period), also if you look at the first character for 浴衣、`浴`, it has to do with bathing (although people also carried around cloth, which generally came from the leftover material when making Kimonos and Yukata).
