Oct 13	comment	Can 野郎{やろう} really have that many meanings? Do you mind grouping the pieces into less paragraphs? That way even if it's long it'll be easier to read it. Many "one-line" or small paragraphs are more difficult to go through.
Oct 13	comment	Board / Card game expressions @Kdansky Ok, but your question is too broad like this. If you want you can answer your own question, including the ones you know and leaving the rest to be answered by someone else. I guess you can do it.
Oct 13	comment	Board / Card game expressions @Flaw You're right, but you're missing a point. Stackexchange sites are not a searching service like Google. It's a place where you ask problems you can't solve by yourself, let's say. Otherwise also posting a N-pages text asking to translate all of it would be legit too. :)
Oct 13	comment	Board / Card game expressions @kdansky: I agree with Dave. But if you clean your question and narrow it down to the most problematic terms, it might get more acceptable to the site standards. Search all of those expressions and if you still have some you can't translate, come back here and show us your searching progress.
Oct 13	comment	Homographs: how to deal with them? Great! So きょう means "today" and こんにち means "nowadays"? If you organize that part of the answer to highlight these differences, it'd be wonderful! I was looking for something like that. :)
Oct 13	comment	Homographs: how to deal with them? Your answer is good enough, but about the examples... I was not really requiring a "rank" type of list... Just a small list, or some examples, about some expressions that have the same issues. Something on the lines of "These are the most known exceptions" for grammar. :) And 今日 is also read こんにち? I thought it only was きょう...
Oct 13	comment	Homographs: how to deal with them? @Axioplase Thanks for responding. I was not really taking it badly, I was mostly wondering why there was no explanation about it (but I was a bit surprised too, honestly, because it didn't seem like a "NARQ" question). Anyway, if you tell me what was not proper in your opinion, I'd appreciate it! Thanks. P.S. Just to be clear, I have no problem with you! :)
Oct 12	comment	Homographs: how to deal with them? Can someone please explain the close vote? It's not helpful to vote to close a question that actually shows a real problem, especially without giving an explanation for that close vote. In this case then, about close-vote reason that was "NARQ", I'd like to ask who voted: please, stand up and explain why my question would be "ambiguous, vague, incomplete, or rhetorical" and why it can't be "reasonably answered in its current form." Thank you
Oct 12	comment	Is there a difference between 赤{あか} and 赤色{あかいろ}? @TsuyoshiIto I asked two native speakers and they both told me there is no difference at all. I was going to post it, but your first comment made me re-think about it. Since you said you knew about this, can you please give me your thoughts on the matter?

Oct 11	comment	Homographs: how to deal with them? @Flaw Thanks, yeah I noticed that too when I looked it up. I suppose your comment means the two meanings are quite different.

Oct 11	comment	Homographs: how to deal with them? Can 一日 also be duration? Maybe a less precise and more general term than 一日中?
