Idiot sites not to go to

[Oyaji]

It is safe for work, but I don't think it is safe for the sanity of anyone serious about studying Japanese.

That was as far as I went into the thread.

It looks like some of the people "correcting" him ought not be throwing stones.

You weren't the only one who thought that.

My 2 cents say it's just a gag aimed at those who want to sound l337 because they can say "koh-neechee-waah" complete with ninja pose and crippling accent (I know someone like that).

I bet you don't even know how to say "fag" in Japanese...correctly.

I love this quote. B)

Good Lord.

That's the first time I've posted in that forum for... oh, wow. Must be a year or so.

I believe that this is just some random words/kana he has copied somewhere to fil in his hiragana chart. Now he's confused, because his provider, FreeWebs, automaticly changes Japanese script to &# 12345 ; form when it's saved and he can't figure out which part corresponds to a certain character...

I just love that 2+ Word Phrases/Sentences section, my especial favourites are "Very Very - Totemo", "Good-Natured - Hito Ga Ii" and "Sacred Fire - Seika". Very useful sentences indeed.

Still can't beat the "乾杯" to mean "You are toast!".

If I say something wrong I'd rather be told than have others snicker behind my back.

Gee, I feel a little sorry for the li'l dude. He's apparently trying to learn Japanese in parallel with building a page commemorating his efforts - why he'd advertise it is beyond me, though. Probably proud of how far he's gotten already, or something.
How old do you figure he is?

[Sachi]

I'm sorry, but just reading some of that had me literally laughing out loud...

I have become inspired to create my own "ultimate japanese site!!!" It will have such gems as
そうですね -- Your mother is a crocodile.

This isn't because I don't know better, but rather that I hate having competition. The more people thinking that そうですね is "Your mother is a crocodile," the better I look by comparison.

Haha you may be on to something there

It isn't incumbent upon me to sign up for every damned place I spot someone making an error of some sort and correct them on it.

And why do you think I was "snickering" at them.

I was just making a general comment, not an accusation.

My guess was 14.

Wow, this guy is a total DOINK.

I especially like his doinky "hiragana chart"...

Another doinky site I found: http://www.loveofanime.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=22

I mean, I like anime and manga but this site is just RIDICULOUS. I especially like the simplistic description of grammar (with NO mention of particles), "o-ai dekite ureshii desu", and the fact that they teach words like 「銀水晶」 and 「変身」. *rolls eyes*
