The reality of answering いいえ to a negative question @ZhenLin I don't remember being taught anything to the contrary, but I believe I sometimes got away with いいえ meaning ‘I agree’. It could be that my intention didn't got through to the other person though. And sometimes I get a puzzled look and get asked what I really meant. So I'm confused about what really works.. |

Is じゃないです equally correct as じゃありません? Could you elaborate on the relationship between a phrase's length and its correctness, advancedness and formality? Are shorter phrases generally more correct, advanced and/or formal? I simply want to hear more because I couldn't quite follow the logic there.. |

Modern names of the obsolete kana ゑ and ゐ @Tsuyoshi Good point. In a normal conversation, ヱビスビール would be unanimously えびすびーる, but I think いぇびすびーる can't be completely ruled out when you're talking comically or trying to emphasize the unusual spelling like here. Editing to put up a warning sign.. |

What does 氏 mean after a name, how is it different from さん or 様? @EnnoShioji I've seen the same kind of 氏 in literatures that predate 2ch, although I can't recall which work it was. It was something close to "ニヤリ氏" mentioned in this slang dictionary entry as a Showa-era slang. |

Why do 適当 and いい加減 refer to both considerate and inconsiderate things? Because of this ambiguity, I try to avoid them as much as possible by substituting 適当 with 適切, いい加減 with ちょうどいいくらい, etc., especially in written communications. |
