Link rot is evil. Archive everything. The keyboard is king. Correctness over performance. Canonicalize, normalize, deduplicate. Don't repeat yourself. UTF-8 > UTF-16. Use static typing: good for tooling. Re-use; don't re-invent. Correctness, then clarity, then concision and elegance. Play devil's advocate. First understand opponents' positions.

Why is “Xy” pronounced as “Ki Shi” in Xylitolγγγ·γͺγγΌγ«γ? It might also have been borrowed from German, which preserves the /ks/ pronunciation for such words. |

What are the pronunciation differences between speaking and singing Japanese? @DaveMG: I disagree. While being art gives singers artistic license to pronounce it however best suits the song, there exist linguistic conventions that get applied by default. To compare, you can have constructive questions on rhyming conventions in English, as while poets sometimes do use slant rhyme, rhyming is mostly governed by real phonology. This is basically the same. This particular question is in principle answerable more definitively than with "lists of various things that individuals have heard" by finding examples that appear in multiple places, or by finding studies or surveys. |

Is there a list of kanji ordered by usage in novels? Interesting that Heisig misses #66 (δΏΊ) and #158 (θͺ°). |

Legibility of handakuten and dakuten in small font sizes You mean text on-screen? The fonts are probably just poorly hinted. |
