Although, it's cool that even though you don't know how to read the damn thing, you can still understand what it means. Take that English language!
I've done the same thing with English words numerous times, and understanding what people are saying when they don't know how to say a word uses the same tricks so I've done it more still. It's not really unique to Japanese.
I can't do it very well with English. And it's not spoken, it's written. Spoken Japanese is a whole other ballpark sometimes...
Doesn't matter whether it's spoken or written, if someone says/writes "quadriplegics are animals that walk on four legs" you know what word they meant to use. If you're reading a fucked up document and you only get three letters out of one word you can tell between context and those first three letters what word was probably next with reasonable accuracy.
There's that frequent trick you see in psych textbooks (and I think Mark Twain did this once) where you misspell every word in a paragraph just to demonstrate how little spelling really affects understanding.
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Feral there's some decently written sci-fi books(for sci-fi) in the 40k universe if you give a shit.
But I haven't read a sci-fi book since 9th grade, so I have no real frame of reference.
The most recent Sci-Fi book I read, which I just finishes this morning in fact, was "Stranger From a Strange Land" and it was an awesome book, I had never heard of Heinlen until last Monday when I bought this book from the half priced book store.
Don't tell me you liked the last 1/4 of that book?
That was when Heinlein went to shit. Most great sci-fi authors do eventually. Look at Asimov. But Heinlein actually underwent the metamorphosis in the middle of a book that started out so well.

I enjoyed that book from beginning to end, and it was the uncut version, with over 6,000 more words in it or something like that.
I can see how the end was not as great as the rest of the book, but I still enjoyed it.
I have no idea who Asimov is, for I just started to read sci-fi books when I bought this one last week, and this is my first book that I have read that isn't Anne Rice or a Harry Potter book, I did read a few Steinbeck books too though, he is great.
I am looking to start reading more, for I find that I immensely enjoy it. Does anyone have any ideas on what good sci-fi's are out there or what other books by Heinlen are as good as Stranger from a Strange Land?
Can't say I'd wholeheartedly recommend them but that guy is a master of the plot non-twist. Like a whole book is pointing directly at some obvious outcome so that you have to assume there will some big twist at the end then there isn't. It's been exactly what you thought the whole time.
But he takes that style so far it almost becomes good. Almost.

Bread is so good, sometimes I can go the whole day just eating bread. Well if I had enough bread I would.

That would be a pretty ominous name.

On the contrary; I don't think I look that good.

Could be worse. Could be named Daedalus and never shoot at all but just ramble endlessly about vaginas
This calls for the highest of fives.
Look at Good Ol' Charlie Brown, giving that poor little tree a home. You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
