| Comment | I think there's been a bit of a communications failure.
When I said "OK, 第�啓＼こβ臉� was getting a bit carried away. ^ ^:" I meant that the character �� does not, in fact, appear to be used in that compound word. I didn't mean "Please cancel my submission." And when you said (as a comment in the original submission) "I must have missed it." I presumed you were just being humorous and didn't mean you were disallowing the submission. In any case I think that, unlike any fourth, fifth or seventy first World War, the Third World War (未定) occupies a major place in popular culture and has a respectable showing in Google hits (212,000 + 44,600). |
