I don't know if it's exactly right, but I think of it like "like","such as", or "for an example". :crazy:

So ... I wondered which is the preferred pronounciation: samishii or sabishii? And which is the preferred spelling: Žâ‚µ‚¢ or —Ò‚µ‚¢. Or are they about equally used?

I wish dictionaries had information on frequency of usage, but they don't!

I think it takes around 48 - 72 hours max for DNS to set in. So it should be all fine by now?

It depends on the TTL.

I've moved sites to new networks before, and in the ramp-up, we set the TTL to 15 minutes, so the propagation went very fast. Although, due to vagaries of different resolvers out there, it was still a lot longer than 15 minutes.

Is this acceptable ?

chichi ha watashi no shashin wo toru no ga suki desu.

Thanks

When I was a kid I ate very slow, so my mom usually got mad at me.

I just wonder ... a slow eater...can it be ...osoi taberu hito desu ? Would it sound strange ?

Thanks

Thank you very much ^_^

Looks not totally implausible. However it doesn't seem quite right either.

If 'osoi' is modifying 'taberu' it needs to be in adverb form.
'osoku taberu hito desu'.

"chichi ha watashi no shashin wo toru no ga suki desu."

It is correct.
