I bet they do it like that so they can confuse westerners with their special Kanji. Are you jelly cause you can't do that in Italian? Or can you?
I'm assuming you are Italian cause your location said so

All the italians I know forgo the 2000 Kanji and have 2000 kids instead.  My Italian friends then marry each other and now have literally a birthday party or ballet recital or little league game every single night.  All first cousins.

Anyway.  I think the Ninja will catch on HUGE in China (and maybe other places in Asia) because they love to have something different and exclusive that makes them look leet.  Wait, I do to. :D
I'm back.

Yes I'm Italian and for me even the random spelling used in english is already too much.

Btw our revenge comes with the grammar which is way more complicated than the one used in English and in other languages.

Given that Italians are just 60 millions, and Chinese 1.4 milliards, i presume there's "something" wrong in your sentence... :becky:

Having learned the term milliard in a Chemistry course, I'm happy to see it in use here.  My first time seeing it actually used outside of class actually.

Just another way America is so different lol.

I used it purposely, I'm perfectly aware that you think that 1 billion = 1000 millions.

BTW, is better to use billion instead of milliard than using ANSI instead of ISO :happy:

Its the other way around
The kanji for Green and Blue are the same 青
Thus you have 青森 in Japan with literally means 'green forest', or 青空 which means 'blue Sky'

In Chinese, they are 蓝 for blue and 青 or 绿 which means green.
I think the Chinese just took what the Japanese translated for the Cherry switches and used it as well.

Considering that the modern Japanese writing uses alot of Kanji (which is just chinese characters), it's pretty easy to understand most of it, if you have studied the Chinese language before.

Let's see, I know English, we are required to learn Malay, and I do speak and write Mandarin. And also, I speak the Hokkien or Southern Min Dialect which is similar to the Taiwanese local dialect, and do understand Cantonese. Most ethnic chinese people in my country can do most of these anyway, so it's considered normal that you know the 3 languages and some dialect

I took some beginner Japanese class, so I can read them Hiragana and Katakana but not necessarily understand them.

So thats 3+0.5 languages. And as Chong said, you could probably guess the meaning of the Kanji if you know its meaning in chinese. The pronunciation maybe be totally different, but most of the time, the words carry the same meaning.

Nah, they fired the old keyboard designer and he went to Leopold.

You don't know that. He may have left by his own accord. He's a nice guy. You should be more respectful of the person who engineered your favorite keyboard.

You know, in Japan it's called Majestouch "Black" Tenkeyless with no mention of the word "ninja" anywhere.





Here's the link to Diatec's product page.  Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to add it to my collection. =D

It's true. It'll be cheaper on Amazon, faster shipping, and you'll have TKC quality behind it. I've been logging onto taobao for the past few days eyeing a white tenkeyless black for the past week and telling myself to just wait for TKC.
