My name, being internationally known as the name of a fictional character, has pre-defined pronunciation in various languages. This is of no interest to anyone, but hey ho.
/gylivɛʁ/ is French
/gaɾibaː/ in Japanese and written ガリバー
/galivaː/ is German.
Not very interesting, but hey ho. I'm working on a Chinese name, which would be nice, I think. Well, not very useful, but I want one anyway.
This week: Japanese was, as usual, one of the high-points. I really enjoy that class. We are doing advanced things learning how to tell the time: Ima gogo jûni ji nifun sugi desu. いまごごじゅうにじにふんです。Fascinating stuff, I'm sure.
Anyway, I just saw one of those photoshopped-to-make-you-feel-ill pictures, and I feel ill. There should be a basic “ethical use of the internet” course that you have to pass before you’re allowed to post things online.
