@ 1badmf:in vietnamese there's no word for green, which is odd considering the whole country is covered in green jungle. there's just the word for blue, and to get green you add a modifier, literally, "blue in the shade of tree leaves". very environmental language, which is not to say we have difficulty seeing any colors. afaik no one in my family has difficulty seeing blue or green.
That sounds similar to Japanese. I wonder if this is a trend in most east Asian languages, as they seem to share a lot of other similarities.
where does your knowledge of japanese come from? closet anime fan i bet =D

There is no spoon. There is no HL3! The only thing I know for a certainty in this world is that nobody has as many as friends as the man who has many cheeses!

I've been out of the country for a while now, but i'm pretty sure that it's Sir Wilfred Laurier on the 5, not that womanizing drunkard.

Sir John A. is a source of national pride? The man was a drunk. He used to show up in Parliament three sheets to the wind and pass out in his seat. I've never agreed with putting politicians on money to begin with. They should have a vote on these things.
