Re; Long Time No See!

I'm really glad to hear from you. I was always checking up your new entry.

While you were away from the site, my friends were arguing about whether I am Japanese. You see in Slashdot org. nobody doubts my nationality since they can tell my English is different from native people's. I had to speak a couple of Japanese here in order for my Japanese friends to convince where I am from. They will not cast suspicious eyes on me any more. At the same time I lost my theoretrical basis I have to write some Japanese.

Japanese language is vernacular, it's neither official nor common, let alone universal. It's based upon a family language. Therefore it is OK to transmit our feeling but it is not good for making a logical argument at all. So my insistence is we Japanese ought to use English when we need to discuss something serious. But when it comes to your comment, I like to read your Japanese, so please keep on writing it in Japanese. Of course if you try writing English comments, please do. I welcome.

Any way thanks for making a comment. You are one of the main reasons why I am here in Slado.
