Is the word 'Jap" offensive to you?
Elbow
I see this word all over the place and I really dont like the word Jap. Is
it just me or what?
I prefer to say Jpn, Jpnese, Japanese, but not Jap.
Please help me to not get pissed when I hear some chat asshole say it again.

I don't like it. But it depends on the user and the usage. I've had to
understand that some from down under use it as an abbreviation, as do some
Americans, as in media. The word is unfortunately logical and convenient,
unlike some other terms used for black people.

"Jpnese"?

Is it that much harder to reach over and hit the "a" key?
Or the apostrophe, for that matter?

The only time I use it is in response to being called gaijin, so I don't really
care if it is offensive or not.

It offends me much, much less than the endless freight train of trolls that
barge in here every couple months or so concerning it.

Which reminds me ... I found 10,000 Bolivars in a stack of paperwork the
other day from when I passed through Venezuela a few years ago. "Wow", I
thought, "I'd better get to the foreign exchange."
Just checked on xe.com. $6.25USD.

I was traveling around South America during some of the hyper-inflation of
the early 90s.
In Peru, when the currency got too devalued, they would trash it and make a
new one, valuing it at 1 to the dollar. Then when that one got up to about 1
million to the dollar, they would start over.
I have got some 1,000,000 sol notes lying around, that are worth less than 1
millionth of a cent today as currency...
Brazil was also interesting. Inflation there was around 10% a day.
Restaurants would write their menus on chalk boards, then erase them and
write new prices every day.

When inflation was really intense in Brazil, the better-off folks had
these "overnight accounts". Their money was routinely converted to
dollars or yen or something. For example: In the morning their account
would have lost only 1% of it's stated value (with the banking fees and
transactions) while hard currency might have lost 4%.
In book stores they had no prices on their stock, only colored
stickers. At the cash-register the price associated with each color was
rewritten a couple of times a day...

that's great Mr. Honky now why don't you get a damned life outside of
the computer and actually achieve something in life rather than
whining and bitching at us just to relieve your pathetic failure of a
life.

Since when are you calling yourself "superouthouse"? Where you promoted
after you introduced yourself some months ago?
