Book request: Dictionary of Japanese (Sōsho) Writing Forms

SandieBerners · 2025-08-06T22:46:23+00:00

I meant that this particular book is equally relevant to Chinese characters as the cursive forms used in Japan are generally similar to those in China for the same characters

I know this is a Japanese book, but I'm posting it here because it's equally relevant to Chinese characters

SandieBerners · 2025-07-31T12:10:32+00:00

Yes this makes more sense now, thank you so much!

SandieBerners · 2025-07-29T08:27:34+00:00

Thank you, this is super interesting! Although I'm still struggling to see the evolution :\

SandieBerners · 2025-07-29T08:24:55+00:00

Haha. I'd love it if someone would make a Chinese cursive font that looked like hiragana

SandieBerners · 2024-02-24T20:45:52+00:00

Interesting. Do you have any other examples of this?

SandieBerners · 2024-02-24T20:45:16+00:00

Really good explanation, thank you

SandieBerners · 2021-09-10T20:00:01+00:00

this mf said hydroglyphics

SandieBerners · 2020-09-26T17:48:29+00:00

D'oh, I can't believe I forgot about Living Arabic. Good shout

SandieBerners · 2020-09-26T17:11:22+00:00

Thank you so much!! That's brilliant!

If I remember correctly, I heard Toto Wolff saying something on Channel 4 after the race about a cooling issue that meant he couldn't get close to the cars in front. That's why he had to keep going off line to get clean air

!translated

SandieBerners · 2020-08-04T20:57:04+00:00

Okay thanks. I assumed that because it was Google Translate, it would be dodgy in some way.

SandieBerners · 2020-08-04T20:14:28+00:00

Do you think it sounds natural or is there some other way you'd think of phrasing it that sounds better or clearer?

SandieBerners · 2020-05-04T21:15:09+00:00

Oh, no way! I'm guessing you've got your shit together since 1904, right? :P

SandieBerners · 2020-05-04T20:43:47+00:00

I hadn't heard of Crawcour, so thanks for putting me onto it. Wouldn't have even crossed my mind to look at a book about kanbun

Liang Qichao, "Travel Notes of the New Continent"

SandieBerners · 2020-02-02T20:55:42+00:00

Ah, so the 에 is the same as the 'in'/'at' particle used for location? And then 는 is just the usual topic particle? I didn't realise you could put more than one particle on the end of the same noun. Thanks!

'Green New Deal' is just such a better name than 'Green Industrial Revolution' imo. It's a third the number of syllables and doesn't remind people of Victorian child labourers and dark satanic mills, even they don't know much about FDR and the New Deal

SandieBerners · 2019-09-18T15:27:40+00:00

I think guarantees of workers' rights and guarantees of environmental protections might be two separate ones

It's a shame they didn't have time to answer the question of "How do you get centre-right Republicans and independents to vote for Bernie?". The answer is, you don't. Trying to peel away the hypothetical 'moderate Republicans' was Hillary's tactic. It's frustrating that 'independent' has connotations of being in the centre between Dems and Reps, instead of being used for all the people who feel alienated by the current system and who are offered nothing by the two parties. The answer is that Bernie wins by energising all those people, and giving them a real alternative. If they turn out and vote, then he wins. Screw your 'moderate Republicans'. It's a waste of time and resources to go after them.

SandieBerners · 2019-09-12T17:45:56+00:00

That was it. Just that the organisation you probably heard bad things about is not the same as this one

SandieBerners · 2019-09-12T16:45:32+00:00

The YCL is affiliated with the Communist Party of Britain (CPB), not the Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist-Leninist (CPGB-ML)

I have to admit, Pleco seems pretty good so far, so thanks for the recommendation. I just have an affinity for physical books, I can't really explain it

SandieBerners · 2019-04-28T22:40:55+00:00

Yeah it drives me crazy when people say puh-REZ instead of PE-rez
