- Well, you don't specify who "you" refers to, but since I was involved in
- the thread, I'll pretend it was me.
-
- The original post was a question of the meanings of some terms, some
- Japanese, some Korean, and I think also some Chinese.
-
- I took issue with a followup post, and disagreed with some of the
- Japanese translations.
-
- Based on statements like "We do kenpo, not kempo." and the associated
- obvious lack of understanding of the Japanese language, I guess it
- would be safe to say that the Japanese language may not have any
- bearing at all in the US. But why did you think my statements were
- at all about the US? Are we being a little ethnocentric?
-
- (And yes, I have been accused of having overgeneralized, to which I
- plead guilty. Sorry, I will try to be more careful in the future.)
