      • Schika
        why does Japanese artist releases only use UPERCASE in the album/track titles?

        • 2006-03-05 06403, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        good question.. i wanna know too!

        • 2006-03-05 06415, 2006

      • SenRepus
        Schika japanese are weird and get special rules

        • 2006-03-05 06417, 2006

      • _mo
        because japaneesers are WEIRD peopel, live with it :)

        • 2006-03-05 06426, 2006

      • SenRepus
        because when the write it has nothing to do with grammer it has to do with making text look a certain way

        • 2006-03-05 06440, 2006

      • SenRepus
        they arent all written in only upper case

        • 2006-03-05 06447, 2006

      • _mo
        they don't have casp and othen think a G and a g are different letters

        • 2006-03-05 06403, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        so when they write lower case letters does it look different then upper case?

        • 2006-03-05 06407, 2006

      • _mo
        so they only goafterstylistics, meaning that its quite isnentional and its always consistnet

        • 2006-03-05 06413, 2006

      • _mo
        yes

        • 2006-03-05 06449, 2006

      • _mo
        damn this is horrible

        • 2006-03-05 06453, 2006

      • _mo
        I need to go to bed

        • 2006-03-05 06456, 2006

      • _mo
        bad spelling

        • 2006-03-05 06411, 2006

      • SenRepus
        the japanese language has no concept of capitalization, so it transfers into english letters i guess

        • 2006-03-05 06425, 2006

      • Schika
        hmmm ... well then I don't touch these releases anymore

        • 2006-03-05 06433, 2006

      • _mo
        good!

        • 2006-03-05 06433, 2006

      • teleGUISE thinks all irc clients should have a built in spell check for english anyways.. along with a slang checker ;)-

        • 2006-03-05 06413, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        as well as a American Enlgish to International English translation dictionary

        teleGUISE, XChat seems to correct "teh" for me automatically

        • 2006-03-05 06409, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        schika: i started researching that "at the least" "at least" comment and going to shoot the english teacher ( i believe) that told me that

        • 2006-03-05 06453, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        mustaqil_ just the word 'the' (teh)?

        • 2006-03-05 06406, 2006

      • SenRepus
        omg i got teh clap

        • 2006-03-05 06408, 2006

      • Schika
        should I shoot mine or you have to shoot your teacher?

        • 2006-03-05 06446, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        it was a bit back.. can't remember if it was my teacher or just someone who was a teacher...

        • 2006-03-05 06408, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        but my thinking is the one who told me.. cuz it looks like the idiom "at least" is correct

        • 2006-03-05 06408, 2006

      • mustaqil_
        I've not found/noticed any others

      • Mudcrow
        what's happened to all the album covers?

        • 2006-03-05 06425, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        we removed them all to save space :)

        • 2006-03-05 06444, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        not that they were save here in the first place but....

        • 2006-03-05 06419, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        or should i say "at least" is acceptable ...

        • 2006-03-05 06407, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        though dictionary.com does -not- present it as the first choice when searched for

        • 2006-03-05 06426, 2006

      • Mudcrow
        http://musicbrainz.org/album/1d6acc6a-6ccd-418b-a… isnt showing any artwork, yet its a valid amazon url http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006333…

        • 2006-03-05 06404, 2006

      • Mudcrow
        I spent bloody ages adding artwork

        • 2006-03-05 06412, 2006

      • teleGUISE

        • 2006-03-05 06458, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        im sorry your amazon preference

        • 2006-03-05 06418, 2006

      • Mudcrow
        its just looking at images at amazon.com and not where I linked the image too

        • 2006-03-05 06427, 2006

      • Mudcrow

        schika: wheres the english?? i click the british flag and everything is still german

        • 2006-03-05 06424, 2006

      • Schika
        one side is english the other german - always

        • 2006-03-05 06451, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        no i meant on the main page... itself .. not the result page

        • 2006-03-05 06439, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        never mind i see the text tag 'english version' on the left hand side

        • 2006-03-05 06402, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        i was clicking the flag thinking it would change... which it should but...

        • 2006-03-05 06453, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        mudcrow: not sure... no matter what amazon country i set it does the same.. like i said ive had the same thing happen with US ASINS when for sure amazon us has a image -not- a user one.

        • 2006-03-05 06432, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        and i look at the url and it will be the same -exact- format as a working one.. just a different asin

        • 2006-03-05 06442, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        i haven't been able to narrow it down but i guess filing a bug report with the particular album and asin might be enough to try and track down

        • 2006-03-05 06438, 2006

      • Schika
        regarding to [untitled] tracks, I did this http://musicbrainz.org/album/4a7a026d-8c42-45ec-a… to differ all the [untitled] tracks from this artist.

        • 2006-03-05 06436, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        im sure someone wont like it.. but "at least" :) distinguish them.. so im ok with it

        • 2006-03-05 06457, 2006

      • teleGUISE
        err.. crap "at least" it helps distinguish them..

        • 2006-03-05 06429, 2006

      • Schika
        teleGUISE, where are you from? UK or US?

      • teleGUISE
        in the least and at the least must be 'proper' english back from ancient times and the idiom 'at least' must have been new skool or 19th century stuff

        • 2006-03-05 06437, 2006

      • Schika
        like "dance" with attention to the "a"

        not sure how old u r.. but schooling back in the day, tended to be more concerned with "as it was written in the year 1504" vs. what is commonly excepted and considered correct in modern society
