Has anyone else found it kind of odd that the writing on the JDM engines is in english(i.e. turbo, intercooled)? It might be a stupid question I was just wondering.

Have you ever noticed that almost all major business stuff is done in english. (Used to be french). Could it be for the same reason? I think so.

You guys have no creative thinking what so ever. No wonder why you are all poor all the time. Now the japanese key board is interesting. With all the transliteration out there between languages there is no way the keyboards could look the same.

It's because of the importance of American products and society in the world...

Whereas we were taught Spanish in elementary school, most major countries are taught English about 3x as tough, making them almost as fluent in English as their native language.

And some of you guys wonder why people come on here and leave because they feel like they got bashed for saying something. S13Guy are you taking out some pent up agression on me because your parents made you go to an all guys school? That must really suck, but hey I guess none of the other guys will make fun of you when you show up to your prom with your boyfriend.

i think for the japanese keyboard or whatever, it goes through pining.. if thats how you spell it. for mandarin there is the chinese alphabet. in short from what i remember, you type what youre gonna say, phonetically.
