I think it modifies slighty the nuance of the original wording (zerstören) to supplement an object for the sentence.
Question: I've heard some US universties have lectures on the contemprary otaku phenomena. Does anyone know what materials/texts they use? In Japan, there are several "established" thinkers and theories for otaku cultures. Hiroki Azuma, Eiji Otsuka and Tamaki Saito are well known and frequently cited in articles in this field, either positively or critically. Azuma's work was translated into French and Korean, but English version is yet to come. (or never comes...) |

Oh, I didn't realize that commercial translations are mostly hardcore porn. That's quite sad. Thanks for the recommendations!
Apparently I already gave you cookies recently, tripperazn.

Question about Japanese High School uniforms
Can someone please explain why some schools, at least those being portrayed in anime, such as Ouran Hostobu and Clannad, have different a uniform (especially the guys' blazers and ties) than the traditional black seifuku? Thanks!

quick grammar question, in the auto edit my words doesn't think of this as a mistake but during a manual initiated check up it does..
is it in this case "it's" or "its" "because I’m doing my trainee period there next school year... it’s tough finding one, specially when you’ve never looked for one before..." I thought it was it's but I'm confussed now =( |

That's correct. "Its" is generally just a possessive form; "it's" expands out to be "it is." In this case you're not describing ownership, you're describing a situation. When in doubt, expand the apostraphe out. "It is" fits here, so that's the proper usage.

well, it's much of a joke,trick question but it really does make sense in a way... here it is: "which comes first, a chicken or the egg?"

It's a silly trick question, but your answer does reveal your position in the debate between creationism and evolution. |

However, it isn't really much of a trick if you think it through logically. If someone believes in creationism, then they'd have to say the chicken because god created all animals in their adult form. By contrast if they believe in evolution, then the very first bird that was genetically a chicken was born as an egg to a bird that isn't quite a chicken.
