@Hexxy— I've already answered that. Before I repeat myself, I'll note that it's a special case of the answer to the more general question of why not use just one pronoun for all persons (first, second, and third), numbers (singular and plural), and genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter) —...

@Hexxy— Having made that claim will play-out badly for you. The form “thou” isn't merely a singular, but a singular familiar, like the German “Du”. It might, none-the-less, have been good for English to keep “thou” as part of everyday speech and writing, but that ship has sailed. The ship of...

@X-117017— The popular girl was never re-gifting chocolates that she'd received to the other girl. Each Valentine's Day, the popular girl would make chocolates for the other girl, as part of an expression of romantic love; but, each Valentine's Day, the popular girl would lose her courage at...

@akole— This story seems to have been forced to an end much sooner than originally planned. The twist of a girl repeatedly losing her courage at each last minute, and using a plausible cover story for the gift of chocolate motivated by love, is genuinely bittersweet, and the creator might...

@childrenofursus— No. Either you're oblivious to common rhetorical forms, or you're posturing. Let's have a simple bet: If I fail to explain it differently, then I get off the Internet and stay off, for good. But, if I do explain it differently, then you get off the Internet and stay off...

@parksanddolls— If you think that the author might have been offended, then instead of ignorantly throwing gasoline on the fire you should learn enough to explain things to her. You handled things badly, and now you're trying to save face instead of learning; that just makes you far more...

@parksanddolls— You are misreading the remarks of @Wawawelon. You need a better understanding of the culture of your target language.

So far, this series has been excellent.

@SkyLordOzai— I'm pretty sure that some of the accounts that scored this at 10/10 are special-purpose accounts such that fewer that eighteen people were involved. Some of those who gave this manga 10/10 were shills, some were prankster-trolls, and probably some were just very odd.

Siberian huskies are usually friendly and a bit dopey, but they are much less removed from wolves than are most breeds.

@eng1— Well, no. For example, Moby Dick repeatedly uses “Leviathan” as a generic eponym for whales. But, as I said earlier, Leviathan was originally a great sea serpent, and conflation or equation with whales arose from confusion.

@dharman— The original description of Leviathan was of a great sea serpent. Confusions about translation and whatnot caused some Westerners to take Leviathan to be a whale or whale-like creature. @SingLove— The expression “beg the question” does not refer to prompting or provoking a...

@sssr— Thank you for that very informative discussion!

Hahahaha!

¥400,000? An American locksmith would charge perhaps US$200. A change-of-lock would be unnecessary unless the lock had to be destroyed; the landlord would be a source of a new key, so the lock only has to be opened for now. If the lock indeed had to be ruined, that's still less than another...

The terms being translated here as “top” and “bottom” aren't equivalent to those except under a particular assumption about the mapping from active and passive to dominant and submissive. Hence the punchline.

Mint seems to be nearly an all-or-nothing thing. It barely hangs on, or it runs rampant.

Some years ago, two women lived in the same apartment complex as I. When one of them would smile at me (surely merely being friendly) the other would glare angrily at her.

Perhaps the suicide was a girl loved by Nina. But Nina is plainly undermining Eunseo.
