> kelpie = Kerupī > omelet = Omuretsu > golem = Gōremu this Moron Adam Funk seems to be repeating: Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's. Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's. Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's. Does anyone (with some knowledge of phonetics, phonology) care to comment on how the most ignorant of the White American bigots are still repeating this? Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's. Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's. Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's. this Moron Adam Funk's use of [ō] [ī] (to indicate Long vowels) is also annoying...
