(comment)	選択科目 【せんたくかもく】 (n) subject of selection
"Subject of selection" is good ole Japanese-English; should be "elective (subject/course)" as an antonym of 
必修科目, which is properly defined in Edict as "compulsory subject".
Thus endeth the Epistle according to LowBrow.

Excuse me while I stifle laughter that cannot be stifled.
標準語 is obsolute?!! Excuse me, LOL. And 共通語 has taken its place. Excuse me but gotta go. Late for my frontal lobotomy. I would love to meet the authors of this nonsense at their location of choice in Japan, one caveat being I want 15 minutes to draw a crowd to watch me dismember them - their own language, of course.
