Why is ローマ字 spelt without an ン? @Tsuyoshi ローマ can pronounced ローマン in english, hence why the OP's question makes sense, well to me. I think your comparison to “Why is アメリカ spelled without ボ?” is a little bit insulting. |

Difference Between 修理 and 直す Slightly off topic, but isn't the chair example Kansaiben? I always thought that 直す used to mean 片付ける was Kansaiben? |

Saying northeast, northwest, north-north-east, etc While your links answer the OP's question, links die, the contents change. When possible it would be great if you could post a more informative answer. It would also help the site SEO, as the questions/answers are picked up by google, etc. |

When to use だ before と思います。 As Daniel says, there is a pattern. イ-adjectives shouldn't be followed by a だ/です, while ナadjectives should be (optional in speech). |

IT system renewal: Can I say 更新 for “renewal”? Odd that none mentioned リニューアル which seems to be the most commonly used version at the company I'm working at. |

Except for pitch, what are the differences in pronunciation between Kansaiben and Tokyoben? I think you need to be more specific in your definition of the word pitch, and what it encompasses. I've never studied linguistics, so I don't know a lot of the technical terms, I didn't even know what a mora was until I looked it up. Anyhow, pitch can change in Japanese words on a mora-for-mora basis, I was pretty sure that this was called intonation. Could be wrong. |

Difference between ながら, がてら and つつ Maybe worth pointing out that when using ながら, the second half of the sentence is the main/important task. So your first sentence probably gives the impression that you prioritize eating over driving, and would translate to 'driving while eating'. |

What's the difference between 上る、登る and 昇る? 上がる is probably more common for 階段 . Although 上る can be used too. I think the nuance is slightly different depending on which you use. |

What's the difference between 上る、登る and 昇る? Shouldn't it be 気温が 上った{あがった}? |

Except for pitch, what are the differences in pronunciation between Kansaiben and Tokyoben? I would use intonation (changing of pitch), rather than pitch. |

How is 鎗 different from 槍 and 鑓? It appears as the third result in my OSX 10.7.3 IME. |

How to answer someone else's phone? Cheers @Dono . I was in two minds about adding it myself at first. So it's best to say XX rather than XX-san, or would you omit the name altogether? |
