| Comment | Seasons greetings!
「+α」 Is this possible as a headword or is there another way to include it? I have been seeing this written form of プラスアルファ used (way too) often in popular Japanese television fare in the form of subtitling for songs and such, and it bothered me for months before I finally found out how to actually read "+α". It still bothers me as a monstrosity of a word, but at least I know what it means now. |
