  1. I came across するする today. 必要するする社員 type phrases. 要るする and 遊ぶする are also possible.

    I feel like a small child who has had their sand castle (obviously in the Japanese style) suddenly kicked by a samurai and returned to nothing. する can follow a plain form verb. There are no rules.

    実は衝撃だった

  2. i was watching an anime and it was showing an email that a character sent and i noticed occasional spaces being used. is this common in emails? i would imagine it’s to aid in readability between kana words that blend together, but why wouldn’t they just use a comma like regular? i barely ever see spaces used, but here, there were maybe like 3-4 spaces in the email that showed on the screen.

  4. Yeah yeah! Took a mock exam for Kanken 2 a month ago and scored 113 points. Took the same test today and got 138. Just 22 points from the passing mark. I know where I need it too. 対義語/類義語 /同音　同順異字　

    It would be so cool to get a perfect score on this thing.

  5. > このバスは郵便局の前**を**通りますか？

    Can someone explain why を is the correct particle in this sentence (and not に or へ)?
