Just to let you know, "Burkhart" is not ブカト in Japanese (that's something more akin to "Bucato." I'm assuming your avatar is supposed to say "Burkhart." It's バークハート in Japanese.

I've come to realize that over the years -- but it's been a screen-name of mine for sometime and I don't particularly care.

Also, I don't think バークハート is right...

But thanks for your slightly sarcastic bit of information.

I don't really mind about the katakana in your avatar, I hate katakana with a burning passion anyway. I just like the grumpy looking old man!

I assure you it's absolutely correct. Here is the Japanese Wikipedia article for Morgan Burkhart: モーガン・バークハート - Wikipedia

You'll find that one of the best ways to check a katakana rendering is to look for the name on Wikipedia English and then look for the Japanese equivalent article to see how it's rendered in that article, as I did above.

Note that it is バークハート. Now, there are other ways to render it. If, say, you are rendering it from Swiss to Japanese instead of English to Japanese, you could say ブルクハルト like Jacob Burckhardt, a famous Swiss art historian.

And you are responsible for inferring any sarcasm. I was not being sarcastic one iota, and I honestly don't see how you could have read any into the post unless you wanted to see sarcasm. Projection and all that.

You randomly confront me about a misuse of grammar in a totally unrelated thread.

If it's not sarcastic, isn't that just a bit... pretentious?

What MMM means, and I agree to, is that there is no rule or standard for letter direction of Japanese tatoo because letters are not used in common case of Japanese tatoo.

Needless to say,general standard of letter direction is top-to-bottom or left-to-right. If you like old style, you had better change ｌateral direction into right-to-left.

It's called being helpful, ass. What, you want me to start a new thread or open a new tab to send you a PM? I'm helpful, but I don't have copious free time (and I hate PMming). I saw your avatar, I noted that your name was wrong. I corrected it.

Most people would want their misused katakana corrected. This is, after all, a forum for Japanese.

You bumped a post that had been dead for a week to ask for it to be locked?
