    Now I'm having flashbacks to a bad night in my youth, spent guzzling Suntory, & Saki...

    Saké in Japan just means booze...

    Nihonshu (Seishu) is what the Japanese call what we call Saké in the west.
    Shochu is another strong saké, but saké, the word, just means alcoholic beverage like rice wine.

    So, that's Nihonshu o kudasai... http://www.satsuma.co.jp/english/con-shiru-shochu.html

    Nihon also means Japan.

    Well, usually you'd want qué! - just to make it all kosher, as it were. (Because it's exclamatory.)

    The computers in my school all think they're American though; I'm constantly adding British words to the dictionary like Colour or Globalisation or Centre... So the UK exam board marking my assignments don't flunk me. and that brings back memories of having to use the 2 for the @ instead of the " for @ like we do on UK keyboards.
    At school, the keyboard's British, but the computers think they're American despite what symbol's painted on the key.
    I think It's
    !@#$%^&*()
    to my
    !"£$%^&*()
    And I don't think there's an accent key or, IDK what AltGr does as I can't do it in school.

    Me writing my email address on an American computer (or vice versa - An American writing theirs on a British computer)..

    username"domain.co.uk (or .com)




    It's not something I remember until I have to do it.

    You could be writing it and reach to press where you keep your @ and be stopped in your tracks to look for it when " comes up too.

    Well, you can import accents & such from a word processing app. If I know I'm going to using a lot of those, I'll just compose it in Word - most word processing software has provisions for foreign accents & diacritics & beginning punctuation. & you can cut & paste to bring stuff into this forum.

    I use Google and copy and paste if my AltGr key doesn't do it.
    And for Japanese characters.
    My phone can write Japanese and that was interesting, learning what I know about how to use a smart phone's Japanese keyboard... But Google's handy for reading some Japanese that I don't know. and for Russian or Greek since neither my phone or computer has those languages installed.

    The circus has just morphed into the present day Leftist Media and the Hollywood entertainment industry.

    Know your clowns.

    No offense, compa. It's just that every language has its requirements. I thought you'd be interested.

    Most people seem to like to be flattered.

    Others are very insecure and need to be encouraged.

    I'm used to getting disrespected, so I'm not too bothered about many of the folks in here not liking what I have to say.

    I responded because the truth should be repeated.
