@WeirdlyCheezy Yeah, I think pretty much everyone has trouble reading romanized stuff because they get the vast majority of their reading practice with Japanese the way it's normally written.

I mean, I expect anyone can read romanized Japanese, but I also expect it to be harder for most people.

Yeah. For me it is pretty extreme, I think my reading speed falls by at least a factor of 3 if its all kana, and then probably another factor of 2 (or more) if its romanized

Q: Multi-language-tag support bug: other multi-language posts disappear on toggle!

For questions, (like this one), where multiple posts use tags like #English or #日本語 to provide multiple language versions, if I click on the language toggle (eg "English" to switch to the English version of a post), the actual contents of other multi-language posts disappear entirely. However, t...

え？どうしてだろうね。もしかして、英語の「*」じゃなくて、日本語版の「＊」ですか？システムは区別するかどうか知りませんが。。

We have a tag called polite with nine questions and one called politeness with many more. Should we merge them?

お〜は

@oals: Also, I'm thinking yes on [polite] [politeness] merge; especially if [polite] can be made to alias aggressively to [politeness].
