How to say, “things like” i would just add that っぽい while means "like" has the connotation that it is not what is expected or has a negative connotation. |

does anyone know of any o-words or go-words which are absolutely neutral? I've heard that Omae used to be polite way back when so that o would be polite |

What does バタバタ mean? @language hacker : the wearing of female clothing is not indictive in current japanese culture of men being okama or gay. The latest fashion trend in tokyo is for guys to wear dresses. That and visual-kei people also routinely dress in drag as well. Though, still a little different than an okama who might choose to use feminine language. |

Qualitative intensifiers e.g. とても, とっても, 超, etc. How are they different? I'd add でっか as well... |

Can't に always replace へ? this could be less about the usage of へ in a grammatical structure and be more of a social norm when writing letters. |

How would one convey “get over it” in Japanese? but in either usage would not get the person to stop and would actually encourage them to continue their praising. Which is the complete opposite of what the OP was asking |

How would one convey “get over it” in Japanese? 仕方がない means "i give up" and wouldn't really work here. |

Meaning of 右端揃 in “これ右端揃うかな？” I thought your comment was great in reference to the etymology of the word, but thought that other people, using rikai-chan for instance, would be confused when "half-width" comes out as a translation. My orig. comment was meant more as a side note than a correction :D |

Meaning of 右端揃 in “これ右端揃うかな？” 半角 'half square'. --> it's referred to as "half-width" in computer jargon. |
