@thisiskyle: I meant the *visually-impaired* leading the blind, people who aren’t blind but still have bad vision. Us plebs are the blind while missingno15 is the half-blind. It’s not meant to be an exact analogy, but it’s close enough. You don’t want to be lead along your Japanese-learning path by someone who isn’t an expert in the area. I’m not saying missing is bad at Japanese – he outstrips everyone on the forum, no doubt – he’s just not the man for the job. I have every confidence he could teach the *basics*, but Textfugu is already there for that. And it’s not like you get any serious speaking/listening practice, just because he’s not fluent yet. It’s a nice idea, yeah, but I don’t think it’ll work too well, at least at the beginning (since he hasn’t done anything like it before and will need to get into the swing of it/improve his own Japanese first).

@Hashi: Ah! Put the scary red font awaaaay!!

“Daphne and Celeste”… Will have to look them up.
Oh god, really vaguely remember that “Ooh” song now XD Not terrible names but definitely terrible music.

@Index: lolwut?

Panty and Stocking/Scanty and Kneesocks/etc., regardless of the strange looks you’ll get when calling them, aren’t really that great names anyway :P

Toki and Doki sounds good to me :) Or how about calling one of them Maru, after the famous box cat hehe ;)

Bbvoncrumb on top form, as ever ;)

Over on jisho.org, when you’re searching for kanji “by radical”, fish legs and volcano are the same thing (though it’s displayed as the “full volcano”). I think Koichi just calls them differently to distinguish the “above” one and the “below” one.

The font here shows the narrow but still open-mouthed volcano; the font at jisho.org shows the pretty-much-closed-top volcano.

「[item] はどこで見つかりますか。」or maybe just 「[item] はどこですか。」

That’s just a rough guess; wait till someone corrects me haha. Pretty sure I’ve heard 見つかる being used to ask where something is before.
Can anyone tell me if that どこで is correct? Could you also say 「[item] が見つかるところは、どこですか。」
