Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT

Some chapters and paragraphs of the Japanese paperback edition were not included in the English translation. Combining the original three-volumes (Japanese) would have been too long, and so the publisher requested that ~25,000 words be cut for the English translation.[2]
For example, the two missing chapters from the second volume of the original three-volume elaborate on the relationship between Toru Okada and Creta Kano, and a "hearing" of the wind-up bird as Toru burns a box of Kumiko's belongings. In the third volume, the computer conversation between Toru and Noboru Wataya and Toru's encounter with Ushikawa at the train station are also omitted.
In addition to reducing the word count, some chapters were moved ahead of others, taking them out of the context of the original order.

Re: ITT: Pretend we are still writing in osu! OT

Actually, to be perfectly honest, it's neither one of them. Jewfros look plain retarded, afros are more of a nigger thing (their hair is somehow weird so it fits better), but I don't really know what kind of style mine is so I call it afro. It's essentially just me not having cut my hair for too long. :p

It's these little things that make me infinitely grateful that I learned other languages when I was young.

Don't use “thought” verbs too much: thinks, understands, loves, hates, and a hundred others. Instead of characters knowing, present the details that allow the reader to know them. Instead of a character wanting something, describe the thing so that the reader wants it. Only specific sensory detail: smell, taste, and sound.

You open a new door with each new language you learn. A door to a completely new culture, with new opportunities, new perspectives, new knowledge to be obtained. Not that most retards ever think that way anyways.
