well actually, there are 4 that are okay, it's the remaining ones I hate
9:12 am
hokie carla
okay, back to babbling

the thing about this grid is that wherever you go you just find the same letters
9:12 am
ChampFit
Where you go, there you are!
9:13 am
ChampFit
The S (lower) and one of the T's are giving me grief.

ChampFit

hokie carla
when I was in 6th/7th grade we would have slumber parties and play that record over and over while playing nighttime hide and seek.
9:38 am
hurshy
it's transliterated anyway so spelling is slightly moot, so i suppose the question would be if you hear a japanese person say it, would you ever hear an "h" sound there
9:38 am
hokie carla
but who knows if they make an h sound or if it's silent, like in spanish
9:38 am
MollyL
I'm not touching nighttime hide and seek
9:39 am
hurshy
if they don't make the sound then there definitely would be no point in transliterating it with an h
9:39 am
hokie carla
well, I hope not since we were like 12
9:39 am
hokie carla
secret secret, I've got a secret
9:39 am
