[Otaku]

Who do you think uses the spacebar on the computer more, English-typing or Japanese-typing users?

english typing people, you rarely use the spacebar when typing Japanese, the 変換　key is used instead.

i, as well as numerous other people use the spacebar to choose the kanji we write.

I do as well!

I voted English btw purely because I think that we have to separate words in English to be intelligible more than in writing Japanese.

As you and many others know not all "words" in Japanese are separated by a space.

Why ask the question when you already know the answer?

[Otaku]

Are Japanese words somehow different to English words?

Yes, they are written in kanji.

[TENGU]

Are Japanese words somehow different to English words?

Yes, they are written in kanji.

Vely interesting, do you point out to your students that anything not written in English is somehow 'different' ? what about hiragana, katakana worse still 外来語.

Tsk tsk, the word "word" is by definition what it is and doesn't change according to the language in question.

[TENGU]

Nice try Tengu.

Thanks,

Otaku will be along soon for the compulsory back patting

If you haven't figured it out yet let me spell it out for you in plain English. If you have something to add to the discussion feel free to participate, I am sure that you more than likely have something interesting to add.

If you want to explain yourself feel free to do so, just dont expect anyone to play your games.

If you want to play games try the arcade here.

[TENGU]

There are only 2 arcade games in the arcade and they're not good conversions!

Sorry to have asked you to explain your words. Guess there is no need for explanations when your pedestal gets so high.
