sigesige00 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 The Greaves Sports do not ship to all countries/regions of the world. The ACA sports do. Raith Rovers, Annan Athletic, Falkirk, Dunfermline, Stirling use this shop to sell their replicas. We should consider the change from the Greaves Sports to the ACA sports. http://www.acasports.co.uk/ And, the estimation of deaths by the earthquake and tunami in Japan is over 10000. Please give some money to international charity organisations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigesige00 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 In addition, the spelling "tsunami" (in Esperanto, cunamo) is something I am strongly opposed to. There are two major systems of the Romanisation of Japanese. One is the Hepburn system, established by an American (Dr. James Curtis HEPBURN) who established a Christian university in Janan. The other is Nipponsiki system (Japanese system) which was established by Dr. TANAKADATE Aikitu, who was also a strong advocate of metric system. The Nipponsiki system is correct because it is based on the Japanese phonemic system. The Nipponsiki is: a i u e o ka ki ku ke ko sa si su se so ta ti tu te to na ni nu ne no ha hi hu he ho ma mi mu me mo... The t sounds (ta ti tu te to) is written "ta chi tsu te to" in the Hepburn system. This is very inconsistent, and destroys the Japanese phonemic system. Therefore I am strongly against "tsu" spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I think that he is trying to say that the correct spelling should be, "Sunami". That is to say without the now customary letter 't' at the front. However, I am enraged to see such vile bias and predjudice against Dr. Hepburn's phonetic system. Calumnies and crass innuendo are railed against the noble savant and his lifelong pursuit of truth. James Curtiss Hepburn was a polymath of note. Not only was he fluent in Japanese and numerous other asian languages but he was an athlete who prevailed in many sports. Unfortunately he was born with a physical abnormality, (two left hands) which meant that he could not pursue his love of boxing; although he used to amuse his colleagues and friends by shaking hands with himself whenever the opportunity presented itself! The learned doctor was also plagued with flatulence but he prevailed in his struggle against it by fine-tuning his highly developed musculature, in a series of pelvic floor excercises. Eventually, like France's celebrated "le petomane" but without the same Gallic finesse, he was able to break wind in a sonorous, musical fashion. He was a life-long Jags fanbut there is no proof to the rumour that he ever farted, "Mary from Maryhill". There are, however, several verifiable accounts that Dr. Hepburn, a lifelong fan of John Phillip Da Sousa, farted a medley of DaSousa marches at his own wedding reception; earning him a standing ovation from all present. His encore - "the Stars and Stripes for Ever" was less well received, possibly because of his unfortunate "follow through" at the climatic high C note in the final chorus. In conclusion may I say, "hands off the doc" and that there is nothing wrong in spelling the word 'tsunami', with a t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigesige00 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 So, how would you spell "tsunami"? "tunami" (つなみ). And the Esperanto word "cunamo" should also be changed to "tunamo". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the blogs of a Japanese in Guam, Guam was not affected and travellers are at coast as normal. By the way, Guam national team shirts are 25 dollars each.
