Forum:Some wāpuro cleanup


 * Neither? I don't see the problem with keeping them as is.  Even if we use wapuro, it should never interfere with how the word is actually pronounced. Lanate (talk) 23:44, November 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * If there's one thing I'm obstinate on, it's the romanization method we've been using before. I don't see what's wrong with what we had before.  I don't like the use of macrons, I don't see what the problem with doubling the vowel for long vowels is, the x looks even worse.


 * I can tick off what we've--or at least, what I've mostly been assuming--from this list.


 * Hepburn for basic kana
 * Wāpuro for long vowels
 * Use n' but drop the apostrophe in non-ambiguous cases for 'n'
 * Double the previous consonant for small tsu
 * Double the vowel for katakana long vowels
 * Favor phonetics but preserve wo for particles
 * Space between words, including particles for spaces
 * Use hypens for closely related works (like -mura or O-)
 * Capitalization like in English, except for loseless for song lyrics
 * Convert back to original spelling for foreign words
 * Small vowels for small kana


 * It's going to take me a lot to deviate from this list. Lanate (talk) 02:57, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I may have a different word processor, but I'm able to get the correct kana without using "x" or "l" on both Microsoft Word and WWWJDIC.
 * I personally prefer wapuro the most in the cases that it removes ambiguity in spelling, like with "e", "o", "wa", and "ou", or stuff like "Tao/Tamashii" instead of "Dao/Damashii". If we're going to have to do a whole list of non-intuitive changes to keep using wapuro...then I'll give up on supporting wapuro, because those are pretty much the main reasons I thought it was useful. I apologize for my wishywashiness on this, though. 07:20, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
