Yes, long ago. I particularly got into kanji and classical japanese, although, like everything, i'm a bit rusty. I would be a Japanese professor now if not for the fact that the pay sucks.

other fun:
when eating:

kuimasu
or kuimasho, this drove the locals crazy if you had one in your apt.

o itadku ni natte orimasu (i think.... i honorificaly, humbly partake)

or serve food, tell your comp: itadake

LOL. You're killing me.

or it could have an MTC teacher who saw your little essay above, and just said, oh screw it. eats and poos: wa doesn't eat or poo: ga

i think even more honorrific is:

o itadku ni natte oraremasu.

slang in kyushuu was to end things with batten ga.

so:
itaku batten ga.

domo arrigato gozaimasu batten ga.

boku wa gozaru

Domo Arrigato Roboto is all the japanese i know.

there's all kinds of japanese you just didn't think you knew:

Nice shooting, although pronounced naissu shootingu
Eat Flan
Please play the piano.

LOL.

MTC Japanese is the most grammatically incorrect form around. That's what happens when you have gaijin who learned from gaijin teaching gaijin. And that's to say nothing of the natives who can't explain why they say what they say.

When I taught there, I was an active iconoclast.

From King of the Hill:

"Are you Chinease or Japanease?"

"I'm Laotion"

"The Ocean?"

"No you idiot, I'm from Laos, a small country in Asia"

"Right...so are you Chinease or Japanease?"

I love Japlish. I cook a lot of Asian food which my wife usually barely tolerates. I was making something that wasn't going well, and she asked what is was called. I said "totaru kurappu" with Japanese pronounciation and up and down inflection. It took her a while but she laughed.
