1. I'm curious to know of the flexibility of Katakana. I know it is a way of writing and pronouncing foreign words in Japanese... So would that mean there can be different Katakana for any one foreign word?
For example: 'Warning' -
a. ウォ—ニング
b. ウォルニング
c. ウォ—ルニ
2. The use of 'da' and 'ga' in reference to a noun.
When do you use 'da'; when do you use 'ga'?
For example (in Romaji): ... Shinobi da.
3. The us of the '—' symbol. Are there certain times you should use this or is it a matter of preference?
For example: モ—ニング or モニング
