persocon: Means computer (there's actually a vowel after that r but it's pretty much silent so I left it out) . The word came from the words personal computer but abbreviated and pronounced Japanese style.

zenbu: Means all or everything. Made up of two kanji, the first one means all and the second means parts. So it literally translates too 'all parts'.

How do you say "I see" in japanese?

Because every time i see "i see" in subs, it sounds like "Naruto" or something

It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

I'm pretty sure it's something like Naruhodo. Why? Lookit the japanese name of Phoenix Wright.

From Anime Club today...

teeburu - table
isu - chair
mado - window
doa - door (Heh. Blueno's Doa Doa no Mi...)
denwa - telephone
zasshi - magazine
hon - book
kaban - bag
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
