Though imo the cultural usage in LiL is always trivial (I mean, Kumon-mi is literally a place in Japan using American customary units and currency), I could prove that at least in China and Japan honorific for teachers is always Surname-Teacher as name is always written in case of Surname-Name on the contrary to that of English, because Chinese is my mother tongue.Moonflare aramaug Apollo259 I have a bit to add (for once) about the "teacher as a name" discourse. Tagging instead of quoting for sanity reasons. I used to be a teacher/instructor (horrifying, I know) in other languages and around other countries. And in kung fu, where obviously Chinese is used (though I don't speak it.) Not in Japanese to be fair, but the linguistics are the same*.
In many languages, similarly to Japanese, "teacher" or the equivalent isn't just a description, it's a title or honorific. When you become a teacher, you become Teacher-Philo or Philo-Teacher. This applies to more than just teachers. In some cases, both a teacher, priest, elder, mayor, etc. would all be Teacher MoonFlare or Apollo-Teacher. It doesn't sound right in English because the word teacher is used more literally, and doesn't have the same associations with a person's status or seniority. We also don't use honorifics the same or nearly as much, with the closest example many might be familiar with being military ranks. It's more like calling someone Sir Aramaug, if Aramaug got knighted and became a Sir. When I was teaching, I was Philo-[Sensei], not "(The English) teacher — comma — Philo" if that makes sense.
I don't know if this is confirmation of anything, I'm not an expert in Japanese and admittedly mine is very bad, but from my understanding and useless linguistics knowledge this makes sense.
This makes my heart flutter and my pussy wet, ngl
If you think this is desperate, just wait until we get into the letter A discourse.Why the heck we even talk about letter T? I know we are desperate for lore, but holy...
You're right, it's usually name-honorific in many languages. However, you can drop the name and call someone of higher status simply by honorific, but you absolutely can't drop the honorific and just use someone's name in most cases like a teacher. And you are still that honorific independent of your name if you earn it (e.g. you are 'Sensei.') But again, English is title-name, so it would be Teacher-Name, and it doesn't really work the same in English anyway. I'd ask for more insight for Chinese specifically, but that may go even more off topic. Anyway, I think you're right and that the cultural stuff might not always be correct or really important.*Though imo the cultural usage in LiL is always trivial (I mean, Kumon-mi is literally a place in Japan using American customary units and currency), I could prove that at least in China and Japan honorific for teachers is always Surname-Teacher as name is always written in case of Surname-Name on the contrary to that of English, because Chinese is my mother tongue.
This way the name of Sekai could be spelled as Arakawa Sekai with maiden name unknown. I remember father of Kanda Sisters once mentioned Sekai abandoned her maiden name due to the terrible relationship with her family. I won't deny possibility of that opening with letter T despite being weird for her to tell that personally to Akira and it seems that it's an unspoken rule that all the characters in LiL has name and surname begin with same letter (with exception of Arakawa Nozomu and Yuu).
I just think we won't get a clear conclusion here nevertheless.
A is for anal, it was foreshadowing the Maki event where Akira almost had his penis removed.If you think this is desperate, just wait until we get into the letter A discourse.

Holy fuck, that's funnyI laughed so much at the Waya image that PhiloPhilo posted I made a terrible signature out of it if anyone wants it.
The Dunce Council had forgotten to give him his daily medicine.He is old let him be
I had a little something else in mind... Seems we need a part 2.The Dunce Council had forgotten to give him his daily medicine.
Also PhiloPhilo if Waya is Wario then wouldn't her rival be...

I mean, we've survived 60 days, 33 is still better. Still sucks though. What I'm thinking is about the disaster that it must be to go 3 days without energy, all frozen food must have/is going bad by now.
Oh absolutely. Getting your real life affairs in order will always take priority over working on a game, especially given the circumstances. Frozen food doesn’t take long to spoil at all in power outages due to storms.I mean, we've survived 60 days, 33 is still better. Still sucks though.
