Jan 19	comment	Why is ローマ字 spelt without an ン? @AndrewGrimm I was actually trying to understand why you felt it was relevant to your question about the word ローマ字. Since you didn't accept the answer, I thought there might be something you still didn't understand.

Jan 17	comment	Why is watermelon written in Hiragana, whereas melon is written in katakana? Note that 西瓜{すいか} does not contain the word 瓜{うり}, though it contains the kanji 瓜. Did you mean to say the latter?
