I can get behind that logic. And I entirely agree that the point of language is to be understood. I will die on that hill with you. The only reason I bring up Dan Machi is that by using the English name, people judge the anime quickly, when ultimately the anime does not align with its title. In this case, using language to avoid prejudgement makes a difference.
But that is an exception. Not the rule. So in that vein, I concede to your argument.
My ultimate point was call it what you want. Who gives a shit what you call it if both names are ultimately correct and both names are understood by the other person in a conversation?
But I'm not gonna get anyone to talk about Dan Machi by calling it "Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?" One is a lot easier than another.
Gate keeping anything is a fool's errand. It makes you look more like a jackass than someone with a respectable opinion.
Chili-mac (chili on noodles) is actually really good. I can't recommend it enough.
Why would car want tuna?
I was right on the tail end, born in 2006. I definitely remember this commercial.
I work with my local sheriff department as a cadet of sorts. We are dedicated to volunteering around the county and doing stuff for the community. I really enjoy it because it helps people and makes people trust in law enforcement for the little things.
I'll agree with a lot of people. Police are in a rough patch that unfortunately has led to a lot of distrust between police and the community they serve. That is exactly why I love volunteering where I do. I am actively building connections in the department I plan on working in, and building connection with the community I eventually hope to serve.
I am also going to be brought into my local volunteer fire department starting February, so I'm really excited to start that too.
Good job dude! I'm happy to hear a success story from anyone these days. I wish you the best in reaching your next milestone as well.
Really good points that you bring up. I can agree with you fully now. Especially on the point of being able to do crazy tricks at no threat to your own real safety.
But I feel like the sense of really flying and being able to go places would be far more rewarding. Even if it is just a prop plane.
You overreacted. You are definitely a closeted gay.
As mentioned deeper in the thread, I agree that this is an edge case. I should have considered that when making my original argument. However, this edge case is brought up in an attempt to explain that not ever scenario should have the same solution. Leading me back to my point, that we should use the names that best serve the purpose of the speaker and/or their audience.
Ultimately, as stated, language is meant to be used for the sake of being understood. I'm not saying use Japanese names because they are better, but because they might be preferred by an individual. And if the audience becomes confused, then perhaps the person using the Japanese name should simply get off their high horse and use the English name instead.
