andsome Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 We all knew that Italian soldiers were good at putting their hands up, now we know that they are excellent at lying down too. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could it be anything else? Well, it could be Nakabayashi, but still it needs the 'a' after the 'y'. A standalone 'y' does not exist in the Japanese syllabary.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 As far as I'm concerned she can spell her name how she likes.I see it the other way round: newspapers should spell peoples' names correctly (or the way they [the people] like it).But then maybe I am unnecessarily concerned: the way foreign names and words are constantly misspelt in Japan, maybe they need a little misspelling themselves. Let Ms. Wakabayashi be Ms. Wakabayshi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Not disputing your interpretation, but you're probably looking at an article pirated from, the original Italian by some hack who is totally dependant on Spellcheck and thinks Kanji is a small village in India.
