To be fair to Silversoraryuu, odd and unusual romaji they may be, I have actually seen them before, many years ago. This style is quite dated, and I'm surprised that there are teachers who still uses them to teach new students. The so-called teachers probably started off learning through this method themselves.
How do I know? Oh....I'm so ashamed to tell you all that I once actually own a book that teaches such peculiar romaji. I was once a confused kid, doing self-study, looking at two different books that teaches two different styles of romaji. Fortunately, I decided to abide by the romaji style that we all know of today.
On this matter, Silversoraryuu, I believe that you are innocent and, like what MMM said, you were just trying to be helpful.

However, there is no excuse for you to be rude to Masaegu. Instead, I believed that you should be thankful to anyone who points out your mistakes for you. Let's look at it as your first step to learning proper Japanese.
