Juri seems to have a history of bucking cultural expectations : P i was just wondering.. have you noticed any change in the tone of her posts from past years?
She obviously doesn't buck expectations too far, or she'd have been Sawajiri'd.
She started out as the line at the top says, a picture or illustration with a personal comment, and slowly lost momentum. If I were a fan instead of merely looking for a challenge then I would dig into the old stuff. It looks more informational.

The language fits the culture. The Japanese don't want to be too direct, so their language reflects that. On the other hand they make precise distinction between facts, opinion and hearsay. _________________

the stuff i hear about Juri seems to come about when she's in working mode.. certainly does not seem like she goes out of her way to offend others.

definitely interested in this sort of thing.
i wonder what can be inferred from the English language then.. a lot of words are borrowed from other languages. seems very colloquial.. and formal writing seems more superfluous
Chomsky once said something about how English and German are two very normalized languages.. the way he said it made it sound like that was a bad thing. i'm still not sure what he meant by it.. people tend to speak/write the same way? i don't think so.. i'm digressing

i sometimes wonder how i was ever able to learn English at all
sometimes, i wonder how i was ever able to learn English at all
i wonder, sometimes, how i was ever able to learn English at all
how i was ever able to learn English at all, i sometimes wonder
i could probably go into like 50 variations on that sentence.. and it'd still be saying pretty much the same thing.
"how i was ever able to learn English at all, i'll never know"
"i often wonder.."
etc.. it's madness!
from what i know about Chinese/Japanese, i'm not sure if you could come close to that level of variation.. although it seems when learning a foreign language, one mostly learns a standard format(?)
Juri doin the English:

A simple sentence like this:
Biimaa wa Juri-chan to resutoran ni itta!
breaks down to
Biimaa wa (topic: Beemer)
Juri-chan to (with Juri-chan)
resutoran ni (locative: restaurant)
itta (went)
You can put the first three parts in any order for six variations. The verb should come last, but you can bend that rule by using a comma in an exchange like this for instance:
Ano ne, Biimaa wa ne.
Biimaa?
Juri-chan to resutoran ni itta, Biimaa wa!
Usooo!!
Biimaa wa (topic: Beemer)
Juri-chan to (with Juri-chan)
resutoran ni (locative: restaurant)
itta (went)

And this is something i've seen on tumblr
Q: Hows the movie filming going? What do you think of Ueno Juri san?
Jun : Filming�fs great! Everyone is doing their best. Juri-san is very nice and easy to work with, though oftentimes, she�fs quiet off-cam, but we do talk to make things and scenes work out well. _________________
