      @Madame:

      The Japanese confusion between R and L still fascinates me (but please don't think this is mocking, I am totally in awe of our Japanese colleagues' ability to communicate so brilliantly in both spoken and written English).

      Haha, that comment made me raugh outo roud!!  😉

      My Japanese mum used to recommend me to find my local "foot-rocker" if I wanted to get some fashionable sneakers.  Months passed before I realised she had meant the "Footlocker" store…

        @TrickHell:

        Hi, I have a linguistics minor and can explain this.

        L and R do not have what is called a "significant phonetic value" in Japanese. In Welsh there are two ways of saying "L." English have words with both sounds, but we wouldn't notice if someone transposed them. An example in English of a different sound without a significant phonetic value difference:

        This
        Thistle

        In "this" the "th" sound is vocalized. Your voicebox rumbles. In "thistle" your lips, teeth and tongue all do the exact same thing as in "this," but your voicebox is mute. If I said "this" with the "th" from "thistle" (or vice-versa), it might sound a little strange, but you probably wouldn't notice in every day speech and you've probably actually done this hundreds of times without noticing. "L" and "R" also have very similar physical ways of being vocalized and, getting back to the beginning, are about as different as the two "th" pronunciations to a native Japanese speaker.

        Interesting.

              @TrickHell - that had kind of been explained to me before, but nowhere near as well as you just have - thanks, very interesting

                In Italian "Paura" means "Fear". Primary meaning.

                  Hoping that "late October" actually ends up being "late October" because I think I'm going to be getting both colors…

                                            forgive my poor memory, but what's the 17oz denim again???  Is this a new 17oz?

                                            I'm waiting on the 14oz and the turquoisexgrey buffalo check then my F/W trip should be finished.
