I find it incredibly condescending and annoying, unless you are speaking the entire sentence in that language.Newscasters do this often. American media people will be speaking perfect white guy English and suddenly go full-Spanish accent when pronouncing the name of a Hispanic. I've heard Japanese newscasters do the same, but going from Japanese to perfect English for a couple of words. I like it; I think it's respectful toward the original pronunciation, especially if it's a proper name. But coming from a chef, though, might be a little different—maybe condescension.
No one but Americans do it. Not like someone from Japan or Mexico will be speaking about American food, then totally drop their native accent to say "hamburger and french fries" with a flat White guy accent. It's stupid.
Chefs especially are guilty of doing this constantly, as if naming the ingredient with an inflection makes it more respectful of the ingredient or something.
i've always enjoyed eating reeses cups. as an adult, I find it harder to enjoy since they seem so sweet every time I eat them now, but as a kid I feel like you don't have the same perception about sugary foods. i've had a lot of those healthier alternatives where they put in unsweetened nut butters and use dark chocolate (can't say that's much healthier honestly..), but I'll always go back and have a reeses cup once in a while.I'm not sure if Reese's changed/cheapened their recipe, but those cups aren't as satisfying as they used to be. They seem more oily and sickeningly sweet. Maybe my tastes have changed.
Thank you for the clarification. I think your opening post could just have included that information; e.g. there is a series (you mentioned this word, so that part was clear) of keyboards with different layouts and for example color schemes.That backspace button is way too small. So, it could be the best keyboard in the world, but that alone kills it for me.
PS Why do I need to answer 6 questions for every comment I post?! Also, why are there no mods/admins to OK my topic?
this is just an example of R4, like some specific japanese version. There are standard ANSI ones.
In that case, the only way I would buy such a product, is if they would connect one to my computer for free for evaluation for three months of using it (which translates to probably a year or actual time, which they are never going to accept) to figure out whether or not there is added value. I don't think having a more expensive keyboard would provide much value to me. At the very least being able to physically test it in some store or seeing advanced metrics would be required.
In a sense, you could say that their marketing engine doesn't work good enough for full market saturation.
From all the keyboards on the planet, why would you want this one? I think, if I knew why I would want to have that particular keyboard, I would probably have enough knowledge to build my own custom one. In a way not being happy with a keyboard is kind of a curse, no? I mean, at some point a hobby becomes OCD for perfection or an addiction. I know why I bought the mechanical keyboard I currently have (ergonomics for having a mouse in place of the numpad and lower activation force to reduce stress on my wrists), but I have no idea why I should buy a Realforce R4.
