Hey guys! They've got a beginners board up....come on, let's use this thing!



We can use the kanas, kanji or romaji...it doesn't matter! In fact...if someone wants to start up a convo, I'll post in all three!

 

[SkaKid0911]

Ok lets start a convo. *please use some kanji but in 「」 put the kana after it cuz my kanji is bad. thx*

はじめまして。アレクサマイクです。どうぞよろしく。

Okay...you guys see that long message down there, or is that just on my computer? If you don't see it, then fine. But if you do...I don't know how or why that happened, or even when...but that is so freaky. Like...what is that?????? After I calm down, I'll try to make another message.

 

[Keeni84]

LOL This is so freaky! I think maybe it's just my computer now...

I had a whole big message written, that took me like an hour to write...hahahha, but I guess I'll just have to finish it tomorrow.

[Keeni84]

It's very strange! I can read what SkaKid wrote...but after that everything just gets messed up and I don't understand why...!!!

 

[Keeni84]

I can also read my signature and other Japanese posts outside of this board...

 

[SkaKid0911]

hmm well first off, i cant read most of what you said cuz i know almost no kanji. sorry. also after that there is a ton of the stuff that happens to me when i e-mailed someone with a font they didn't have. its really weird.

 

[Keeni84]

Well, I'm just going to write another message and see what happens after that, okay!

Hopefully, this will work out!

 

[Keeni84]

Can anyone read what I wrote? This is crazy!!! I've always been able to read my own Japanese script...what's going on!! hahaha, I'll figure it out!

 

[Elizabeth]

I hope we can figure it out soon! The only thing part that is legible on my end is the first line. One mistake I did notice is that "hajimemashite" should be the other kanji....but I'm afraid to type it out here and keep this bug going.

 

[Keeni84]

lol This is crazy!! But thanks, Elizabeth! I was debating which one to use...I always hate the different readings, but I guess I'll learn!

 

[Elizabeth]

Can we still even get replies to post? I did get the first line of Keeni84's last message and one mistake is that "hajimemashite" should be the other kanji. I'm nervous about writing it out, though, and keeping this bug alive.

As I've said elsewhere you really should state what Browser, OS and Encoding you are using when you have problems like that. Otherwise it makes it much harder to sort out.

I can tell that you're text is Japanese (ISO-2022-JP) - known as Japanese (JIS) in Internet Explorer. This cannot be specifically selected to display in IE - although it can be selected by Japanese (Auto-select) if there is no other Japanese encoding used in the thread. (Therefore I can tell that Elizabeth is not using Internet Explorer).

If you look at the source of your text you'll note the following section
[...])!J$&quot;$-!K$+[...] This is a typical error in forum code - it has made a " character 'web-safe' by turning it into &quot;. However because Japanese encoded text is double-byte what it has actually done is mangled half of a character.

I've got more technical details in this thread
Use of "charset=iso-8859-1" tag in _Japan_ Forum | Japan Forum
but here's a summary:
1. Disable smilies when posting with Japanese.
2. You can display & enter Japanese text if you are using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firebird with Windows XP. I don't know about other browser / OS combinations.
3. If you want to view text entered in Japanese (Shift-JIS) or Japanese (EUC) you have to select the encoding manually.
4. Until it is clear under exactly what circumstances the &quot; error occurs it is best to enter your text so that it appears as ��� (N = number) as this form will not be affected by that particular bug. In Windows XP / IE this is now the default encoding (as the default display encoding is Western European (ISO).).

Incidently, Keeni84's full text in the most recent post was
始めまして（はじめまして）！キです。オハイオ大学（だいがく）の学生（がくせい）です。一年生（いちねんせい）です。十九歳（さい）です。秋（あき）から今Ｉ（いま）までオハイオ大学で日本語（にほんご）を勉強します（べんきょう瘢雹します）。九月（きゅう瘢雹がつ）に中部（ちゅう瘢雹ぶ）大学へ行きます（いきます）。ええと。。。日本語は難しく（むずかしく）面白い（おもしろい）です。

{edit}
And the one before that was
下娘 「かな」

はじめまして！わたしはキアナです。じゅうきゅうさいです。オハイオだいがくのがくせいです。いちねんせいです。あきからいままでオハイオだいがくでにほんごをべきょします。にほごはむずかしですがおもしろいです。にほんごがだいすきです！わたしのせんせいもだすきです。あきににほんへいきます。ちゅうぶだいがくにいきます。

じゃあ。。。あなたは？あなたのしゅっしんはどこにありますか？なんをすきですか？にほんごがすきですか？

漢字 「かんじ」

始めまして！私はキアナです。十九歳です。オハイオ大学の学生です。一年生です。秋から今までオハイオ大学で日本語を勉強します。日本語は難しいですが面白いです。日本語が大好きです！私の先生も大好きです。じゃあ。。。秋に日本へ行きます。中部大学に行きます。

じゃあ。。。あなたは？あなたの出身はどこにありますか？何を好きですか？日本語が好きでか？

I hope that's cool! Remember, I'm a beginner too, so please correct any mistakes that I've made!

ありがとうございます！

=============
P.S. I think it should be possible to restore the contents of old posts with
a) A search and replace
and
b) A encoding conversion utility.

Ah, that was some dull text I'll bet. Anyhow, I'll just say that I'm somewhat of a beginner, I'm in my second year of Japanese now. I couldn't think up anything good say right now. I'm not the best at introductions... Also, if I make any mistakes, please correct me. How else would I learn?

Keeni84: In the quaetion 何を好きですか？ the particle should be が instead of を

 

[Keeni84]

Yeah, Eito, you're right.

 

[serewen]

Yeah, Eito, you're right.
