i am aware of that, i was referring to your first post in which you had used a very bad translator for the article... anyway

[truehappiness]

Come on, why do you have to be mean to the online translators?!

It's not like they don't say what you said... just look at all of them, they all mention a free present / chaku-uta for FC members. You do know it's better to use a translator to make some sense of it than to just post the Japanese, right? I don't know why you have to say that OCN/Excite/Google are "bad" when they're actually quite helpful most of the time...

[KPL]

I support the upcoming A ROCK or A BALLADS 2 theaory

[rakeru]

She's really dishing out the prizes this time around!

don't get me wrong, i find online translators very useful myself, but they usually work better as dictionaries merely translating sole words or short phrases...
with languages such as english and japanese which are for all intensive purposes structurally grammatically opposite, an online translator is usually not capable of giving an accurate translation and what comes out is gibberish...
anyways, i am constantly using online translators myself so i'm not hating on them, just as i said, they work better for short phrases and not entire articles imho...
