Interesting choice to romanize Japanese. Now you have to figure out which romanization system to use (I was surprised を was romanized as o and not wo). But I do get it, I guess, because you have to wonder it would only use Hiragana or mix Kanji in:

  • 大文字と小文字を無視する
  • だいもんじとこもじをむしする

Well, for the sake of being international, we should just use Katakana everywhere. That's the sanest suggestion (who's with me?):

  • ダイモンジトコモジヲムシスル

Of course, you're kind of screwed on a TTY, since they don't generally render unicode...so let's go back to figuring out which romanization system to use.

I don't know what that symbol means, but I've always liked how it looks like a smiley face.

Me neither, but it's my favorite one 😊
