If you really know a lot, why have you never replied to me in Japanese even when I specifically asked you to? Go answer the last few questions in the following thread if you still insist that you know a lot. I wouldn't mind if you replaced me on JF. "I know a lot of Japanese" is something I have never said so you must be super good.

For the record, if I may add, I've never followed everyone around and accused them of something, and I certainly don't follow around an ug** weaboo like yourself. I'm already surrounded by real Japanese ladies where I live. Not that I follow them around, though.

I know you won't listen, but saying "I know a lot about ~~" or "I'm very good at ~~" is socially completely unacceptable in Japanese culture. We honor modesty and humility here. This is what I meant when you joined JF and said "I can speak and write a lot of Japanese!" to your prospective Japanese friends/penpals. Japanese people will not reply to someone who would say that. If you didn't know about that important part of Japanese culture, how good can your Japanese really be?

If you want to reply, reply in Japanese so the Jaapnese-learners on JF can be assured of your true proficiency. If you can't do it, don't even think of talking back. Don't use an online translator, either. That won't even fool me a second.
