Aside from "Note that the terms I'm coining here are in now way canon translations" making it clear just how much this has not been proofread, it irks me that someone anonomously writes to a public forum things like:
? when I worked on?
? I made a list?
? terms that I had to come up with?
? I think this might come useful?
? terms I'm coining here?
? which I kept ?
? I didn't invent?
? I will give?
? I am getting the idea?
? if you can inform me?
How does this person expect anybody to "inform me" when there's no contact info or identification of any kind for the person who wrote this? Surely, the concept of deixis is lost on this individual. Or perhaps the person did identify him/herself and it got scrubbed when someone else edited it? If that's the case, then the editor deserves public humiliation.
pItlh.
