Buddy Icon
Hi there. I'm pretty new to Adium and would like to ask how I could change my Buddy Icon in the program? I'm on OS X, 10.3. I would appreciate the help. And is there a place where I can download Adium Buddy Icon? (If such thing even existed) Thanks, all, for responding.

I can recognize hundreds of kanji, but my writing has devolved precipitously since I left school. Every time I try to write something by hand, I end up using an electronic dictionary or computer to jog my memory about the way to write some particular kanji.
To The Silver Fox: Japanese grammar is very regular. You can get conversational in a year or two, depending on your level of effort. However, true fluency is elusive, because casual speech usually ends up throwing grammar out the window and because Japanese isn't Indo-European, so there are fewer words with clear connections to English. That makes the words harder to remember. Of course, there are tons of English loan words in modern Japanese, so you can use those in your conversations (say "appuru" for apple), but when you're listening to someone else they're liable to use the original Japanese word ("ringo" for apple) and you'll get lost. So, it's a mixed bag.
On the plus side, you can make fun of people's poorly chosen tattoos!

Very regular indeed. It's in the form "noun - to be - adverb/adjective - verb" I think. Ringo is a name here, so call people "Apple!" And "Kyoori" is cucumber, so anybody with the last name "Curie" can be called "cucumber!"carlj7 wrote:Japanese grammar is very regular.

Of course, they will get mad…
