| Reading 1 | へいかきりさげ |

| Comment | In my never ending quest for order in the world, I have noticed that 平価切り上げ is the first reading (w/furigana) and that 平価切下げ is the first reading (w/o furigana). Let's work together and put the breaks on entropy. |

| Editorial Comment | Are you asking that 平価切り下げ go first? GG5 has only 平価切下げ, and in WWW hits 平価切下げ leads 平価切り下げ by about 2:1. |

| Comment | > > だって、違うスプーン使ってるもの！これ使いなさい！
> > Because you are using the wrong spoon. Use this one. > I don't think だって means "because". The context is missing, > but in that sentence I'd translate it as "however". I disagree about translating it as 'however' in that sentence. 'because' may not be suitable as a gloss, but it is often a reasonable to use in translating a だって that was used at the beginning of its sentence. It still relates to the base meaning 'but' but is used before saying something that supports a previous statement/argument or position. |
