the reason hy they dont get 100 and 1000 is because in japanese, they literally change the counter. it's literally 1 (counter) for 10, so for 100 and 10000 it's the same....

I'm going to guess their English is probably better than your Japanese, as well.

What's a counter?
Their problem with how they wrote 4 and 8 comes from the fact that japanese is a language that is written exactly how it's spoken, throw in the foreign characters and to them writing in proper english becomes complicated.
100 and 1000 it's obvious they simply didn't know lol.

*sigh* Like
in Japanese 100 is 百 right? so if you wanted to say like two hundred you'd write like 二百.
like 100 isn't just add a 0... i can't explain it good.
but you kinda add combonations of kanji like that to make a number.
like 1million is 百万, knowing that 100 is 百, and 万 is a ten thousand. You literally add Kanji together.
it's a bit like french where... well you get the mess of say 90, it isn't say 9 and 10 together, its 40-20-10. or quatre(40)-vingt(20)-dix(10)....
did i explain that ok...?
LANGUAGE IS HARD
Edit: ANd thats not even going properly into counters, thats flat out numbers, each kind of object in japanese has it's own counter, like money it's En/Yen. 冊/Satsu is books, so you wouldn't say 百 and then the word for books. (which is hon 本) you'd say 百冊/ hyaku satsu

That is irrelevant. Juu and hyaku are different words. Just like ten and one hundred. They wrote teeen for silliness because they outright didn't know the word.

And french 80 to 99 is one of the most stupid language constructions I've ever seen. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to put multiplications into the process of counting?

Team Fortress / Overwatch
don't either of those games have their own third party hack website with a handful of diehard junkies that you could go there and bother them?
the "FFXI" in the website name stands for "Final Fantasy Eleven" and the "AH" stands for "Auction House"
FFXIAH is not a slang term for Fire.
sometimes we wish we knew what the hell you were talking about...but not very often or for very long.
Somewhere there is a magical place where there are people who would get the references you are making to whoever "scout" is and whatsherface and airblasting and whatever
go to them my son and they will laugh WITH you, rather than AT you and they will understand your obscure cornball references and THEY WILL LOVE YOU....

Real men actually smoke don't go out of their way to get lung cancer..don't give a damn what other people have to say about their vices; you own up to them or don't.

Lina I vape as well. Are you sure the migraines are coming from the vape and not anything else around or even stress?

(Really strong smells make me sick, i went into sented shop once and vomited because of the overwelming smell)

My wife has similar reactions to smells, but the liquids I use don't bother her at all. That makes sense now.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
