Just to clarify, I'm more exposed to American English. I didn't bother specifying earlier since I wasn't (and am still not) sure if that would make any difference.
With that said, thanks for answering, you guys. That does seem to be the safest option since I'm just so used to putting all the dots unless it's an acronym, and sometimes even then. |

Wikipedia can go into detail more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukata You'll see girls don yukata often in the summer, particularly if you have the chance to go to a fireworks display (they're really crowded though...), so by consequence foreigners who watch anime have come to be familiar with the yukata as a representative of kimono, when in fact there are many many different kinds. On another note, sometimes you may see girls will wear beautiful kimonos (not yukata) on some traditional holidays; kimonos are also frequent during Coming of Age Day (成人の日). |

I know that it's not a real word, but it is an Internet word (no better name for it, sorry) that has a somewhat widely known connotation - or at least, mai waifu does. I'm wondering if there's a similar word for a guy character I like, or w/e.

Is there any other language(s) where "brother" and "husband" in same word?
In Malay "abang" literally mean "brother" but it also can be used for husband as well, like "hubby" in (American) English. I can't imagine Kirino and Sora calling their brothers as "abang". |

Not exact, but in Korean "oppa" is used for an older male sibling or someone who is viewed as an equivalent of an older male sibling; it is also used by women to call their boyfriends/husbands/lovers.

Interestingly, adding an "i" at the end of the romanised phonetic and you get - *IS SHOT*.

I'm trying to buy tix to an orchestra concert in LA this October. It says that tickets start at $35 per person, but when I go to Ticketmaster to buy, they give me a bunch of choices. I have no expertise in orchestra halls whatsoever, so I just make random combinations of words I don't understand, and consistently end up with tickets that are well over $100 each. Can somebody who knows a bit about orchestra help me out? What combination of the following will get me the cheapest seats possible?
Section: -Best Available -Mezzanine Level -Orchestra Level -Pit Location -Best Available -House Center -House Left -House Left Center -House Right -House Right Center The Ticketmaster site, if you'd like: Concert |

Seriously, if you are there for the music, don't scrimp; try to choose the mezzanine seats, somewhere in the middle range. If you are there as entertainment with your friends, the suggestion in the first line should suffice.
