Japanese is special. Unless English is pronounced in katakana form, Japanese won’t understand it. Or better, written in katakana form.Big Daikon wrote:Remimds me of the time I used the word segue at work.

Unless the other teachers were Japanese who spoke English and not native English speakers then it speaks of the quality of English teachers. Katana is most often used as a transcription of foriegn words that can not be transcribed by Kanji or Hiragano.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Aug 12, 2020 10:57 amJapanese is special.

TikTok users warned to clean up their act
The Ministry of Interior’s Information Technology Department issued a warning on Wednesday for users of TikTok and other social media to stop producing “immoral” content.
Making the announcement on its Facebook page, the IT department said it has observed people using the platform in violation of the Kingdom’s laws and Khmer social ethics. It gave examples of videos with obscene gestures and language, pornographic images, disinformation, defamation and inciting social unrest.
Lieutenant General Chea Pov, director of the Ministry of Interior’s Anti-Cybercrime Department said: “On behalf of the department, I appeal to users of social media, if they see immoral videos, please do not share or pay attention to them.”
He added that posting immoral videos would dishonour the Kingdom and affect national security.
“We have warned users many times that it is illegal to edit pictures of other people,” Lt Gen Pov said. “Users must be careful not to share or comment on immoral videos. We will take legal action if they persist in posting and distributing them.”
Lt Gen Pov recommended that users should make an effort to look for videos that respect life, encourage knowledge and teach good business practices. “Immoral videos cause drama which could cause harm apart from being illegal,” he said.
Ros Sopheap, executive director of Gender and Development of Cambodia (GDC), said yesterday that when the Ministry of Interior or the government sees activities which are not appropriate, they can investigate to find out if the activities harm society.
She said that after they research the activities, the ministry will make a decision whether or not to prosecute.
