Comment | The amendment above would assist the novice when searching a string of kanji, especially where a step by step approach does not quite make sense until the whole is understood; usually because one does not always quite know where to start and where to end.
The following NA gives the clarity for specific bodies or the membership of them, but one really needs to know what one is looking for in the first place:- 勅許会計士協会会員 【ちょっきょかいけいしきょうかいかいいん】 (o) Associate of Institute of Chartered Accountants; NA. I believe that the translation into English would be more readily understood by an English speaker if the suggested amendments were made. |
