I'm breezing through Natsume's Book of Friends. So amazing.

Why exactly can't this be a flaw? He's put people's lives in danger countless times because he wants to stumble on a way out that means nobody gets killed. That's a huge character issue, especially given than he's so amazing at figuring out mysteries, puzzles, and problems. That actually gives him some balance. He should never be, nor considered, perfect at everything, without regard. Whether intended or not, Gosho has given a great example where arrogance to think you can always fix everything in life, (especially dangerous situations with a criminal who is backed against a wall and needs an outlet to flee, and also has a gun/bomb), can be a very dangerous mindset.

Jees you add me without even asking. lol

Yeah, you also should make threads for those topics so I can point out how you didn't quote my point and just a side thing that I didn't exactly say.

Does it matter? Unless the server is cramped for space, there's no reason to care about a bunch of accounts not doing anything.

Saving anyone is not the same as saving everyone. If you try to save everyone and you can't, then everyone might die. Sometimes you have to make the call on who lives, and who dies. It's like this: If you had a boat that could only hold so much weight or it would capsize, and you had one adult and one child to potentially help, who would you try and save?

You could avoid the whole thing by saying, "she was on the phone a while ago." In whatever context it would be used in conversation, e.g.: "where is Sandra?" "She was on the phone a while ago," the context is completely implied and you can avoid using the "that was..." portion. Or even use "that earlier phone call was Sandra,"/"that phone call earlier was Sandra." While it is made of different ideas, they are related and can stay as a single sentence. I make mistakes in proper English sometimes, as I had trouble memorizing grammar in school, but I am a native speaker. There are a few ways that you could use the run-on example in conversation, whether or not it's perfectly correct. (Sorry! I think these are correct, though! lol) As stated previously, "John loves Rebecca. He is madly in love." You could also use: John loves Rebecca; he is madly in love. John loves Rebecca... he is madly in love. John loves Rebecca, he is madly in love. Explanations: I'm a huge fan of semi-colons, and feel they do not get enough love! I am also a huge fan of ellipsis. However, most people use them incorrectly. An ellipsis has only three periods in it, and a fourth is uses to end a sentence. Examples: "blah blah blah...." blah blah blah...? "blah blah blah...!" The comma might not be completely correct, but most native English speakers would not even notice. I am questioning it, but I'm not entirely sure. While I'm on about ellipsis, I highly suggest reading the link I made to it. They have so many uses!

Thanks for the translation of the chinese, and to DCTP for you know, all the other work. XD Excuse me as I flail.

I'm going to preface this with saying I know absolutely nothing about the Arabic language. Everything I say on this is going to sound rightfully ignorant. You said the letters need to be connected. It's just per word, correct? Visually, there seems to be a line running through all of it/that they are on...? I don't think I could ever write it properly and not extremely messy if I tried. XD Is there any particular reason that is know for it to be so straight? Is Arabic based on anything else, or has it just evolved over time? Do you know why it looks the way it does? I'm a big fan of language origins and what everything symbolizes or the reasons behind it. Thanks!

Someone else mentioned this too, but "complicated" was the word I was thinking of.

LoL, it's cool, thanks. XD
