Oh God x'D it made me cry I laughed so hard

Hey choco!!

Hehe, I'm just kind of a Japanese-pronunciation nazi. They were saying "muh-DOUGH-kuh" whereas I say "mah-doh-kah" ..... I'm crazy, I know owo;

-gets runover by a wild choco-

No I feel the same way ulti
I think he did it that way to rustle some jimmies
and you let him rustle yours!

I'm usually like that too, Ulti. But that was just for funsies. o wo

Hahaha I need to show that to my brother...

That's one reason I rarely ever watch anything dubbed. I'll just sit there going "KI-yo!? His name is KYO. ... OMFG Her name is not KuhGOOruh it's Kagura omfg." I twitch every time they pronounce the names even slightly American-ized ewo;; ... Because I'm weird.

Hahah poor ulti //huggles

*shudders* Never watching Fruits Basket dubbed... EVER. It's just not a good idea. DX They also pick really weird voices for the characters too. It's why I can't watch Elfen Lied dubbed.

Don't even get me started on car names. Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Subaru, guh. HYUNDAI. In Japanese it would be pronounced "hyu-n-dah-ee" ... Here in 'murrka it is pronounced "hon-day" ..... I can not sit through a Hyundai commercial without twitching ewo;;

HA!! I KNEW IT!!! >=D I thought Hyundai was supposed to be pronounced like that. I feels kinda smurt now. o wo

Haha and words we've American-ized like "karaoke," "kamikaze," "karate," "ninja," "samurai," etc. None of them are pronounced the same as the Japanese pronunciation. Some are close, but the American "karaoke" just baffles me XD

I first heard the correct(?) pronunciation of karaoke while playing Persona 3. My mind was blown that day. o Ao How can we get that so wrong?!

WHY IS THE "A" PRONOUNCED "EE"?? XDD The "e" I can understand. But ... REALLY?? XD

//rolls around
I got egg salad sandwiches!

'kareoke' makes me laugh XD

Because America can do whatever the hell it wants with vowels? o 3o;

So jelly of you. *ogles egg sammich*
