Why is it (usually) wrong to say 人がある but OK to say ある人？ 飾る doesn't mean decorate in this situation |

Why is it (usually) wrong to say 人がある but OK to say ある人？ For whatever reason multiple definitions of ある didn't even occur to me, much less the different kanji choices. |

How can I say “the leader(s) of the club” in Japanese Those words can be used formally but I don't think they are exclusively reserved for business. Any kind of group with some formalized structure can have a 長, can't it? |

Is “豪斯多拉利” an ateji way to write “Australia”? Interestingly I can find plenty of places listing it as a name for Australia but none mentioning its origin. I'd assume ateji but who knows... you may want to change the wording of the main question, though. And just to add to your search, this site lists 9 different ways to write Australia. |

Legibility of handakuten and dakuten in small font sizes Ahh, well in that case it's understandable and I think natural if the font is small. I think most sensible people, if writing critical information in Japanese, would write it big enough such that it is legible.. I mean, it's only really a problem on a screen anyway. You see some workarounds with this in some kanji that change in smaller font sizes, but beyond that I'm not sure |

Legibility of handakuten and dakuten in small font sizes do you have any examples? I imagine the correct reading would be obvious from context |

餌食 vs 獲物 My best explanation would be that 獲物 would give the idea that this person is being hunted, like some kind of trophy animal, evoking the idea of a hunter searching for a prized animal, while the latter would be much more carnal considering 餌食 includes eating the captured thing, and would carry that more brutal connotation in its metaphorical uses. |
