Think? It's either you KNOW or DON'T KNOW. And you don't!

That means:

"(I am) taking the time to walk through the place that you can pass in seconds by car."

We all know you know your Japanese, but why do you always have to be such a douchebag about it?

He's not really being a douchebag. Giving wrong information/information you're not sure about is no help to anyone. Better to keep your mouth shut and let someone who knows do the talking. The OP was asking for a fact, not opinion.

That is the most irrelevant and unnecessary comment. You would need to know MUCH more Japanese to really appreciate what he does for the Language Section. (I've read your Japanese in your previous posts.)

Gabanz response was so off it is irresponsible. There is no excuse for making serious sounding joke answers to translation questions. So instead of calling people names maybe a "thank you" is in order.
