Spanish and Japanese use the same sounds. For the most part, anyway; there are probably a few exceptions. This was unexpected and utterly blew my mind as a native Spanish speaker when I took Japanese lessons.

Take the longest, most complicated Japanese word. Write it out in romaji (Latin letters). And ask a native Spanish speaker to pronounce it. One who knows nothing of Japanese. They’ll pronounce it pretty much correctly. I was fascinated.

With all the context behind it I think the last scene of Star Trek: The Next Generation counts

There’s a way to get a regular signin after the fact; I had this same problem. I will get back to you.

I like sun as much as the next person but I feel getting more daylight by changing the clocks is like going on a diet by changing the definition of a pound. Standard Time all year for me please.
