comment Dates, version strings, timestamps and numbers in Japanese. How are they formatted?
This question shouldn't be closed, I believe it falls under the "usage" part of "Japanese language and its usage".

comment Difference between verb types (verbal nouns, transitive & intransitive: eg 開始, 始める and 始まる)
I like this question because it is a good simple example of the three main verb types in Japanese, verbal nouns, transitive verbs and intransitive verbs. But I suspect this type of question about verbs has been asked before, just with a different verb triplet.

comment Kanji for native Japanese concepts: Kun'yomi spanning multiple morphemes
@dainichi just a formal grammar that would, for example, take 湖 as input and output 水海 and so forth for each entry on the list. actually i don't know why i asked, such a set of rules would be pretty useless. i think the little "->" just reminded me of transforms.

comment Kanji for native Japanese concepts: Kun'yomi spanning multiple morphemes
oh wow that is pretty cool. I don't understand the "kunyomi spaning multiple morphemes" though. how does this work? can anyone write a formal transformational rule?

this is actually from the book 入門言語処理, the Japanese version of Introduction to Natural Language Processing with Python from O'rielly. Believe it or not its not a joke though lolz. The author is just really dumbing everything down in the book, so there is a bunch of these vague colloquialisms all over the place. but there's still a few useful tidbits here and there

@TsuyoshiIto oh I totally agree with you. I'm just poking fun at the author for such a ridiculous notion lolz.
