Ganbatte, furansu wa banzai. How do you do,Reddog. Your Japanese is very excellent. This group has many well-educated people who can write good Japanese! Wow! As a native speaker, I can suggest your weakpoint. #Believe it or not, I am earning a little money by writing now. ( Of course Japanese, you know. And very lucky for me, my field need not to regard who is the "First President of U.S"..... ;-))) Your weak point is "loan word"(Gairai-go). You know we use a lot of loan word usually. We both know the language is breathing, growing, changing. The right answer is not only one. ---------- Konnichiwa, ASCII aato e youkoso. Gozonji no youni Furansujin wa sekaijyuu no hitobito kara odayakana jinsyu dato omowarete imasu. Shikasi furansu no Resistance ni daihyou sareru youni wareware ha (totemo) ara-ara-shii itimen wo motte irunodesu. Demo, anatagata ha kangei sarete imasu. Kouun nimo, ASCIIaato de Image wo egakidasu tokini anata ha superu wo ki ni suru hitsuyou ha arimasen. Soshite ASCII aato no ji wa sekaijuu dono Application soft demo riyou suru koto ga kanou dato iu wake nano desu. Good Luck. (Sachi ookare) Furansu yo eien nare. ("Furansu banzai" is totally OK but this fits more I think. Meaning is like "Forever France") ---------- And I translated using Japanese character and uploaded in my website. http://bbs2.otd.co.jp/283399/bbs_thread Please take a look if you need. KIRARA
