I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”

ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though

Oh, wonderful, teachers who punish kids for being kids and/or making mistakes.

Fantastic sub format for anime.

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

[–] OuterRem@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They transliterated it as English: “Great” being written like “Go Ra To” or something similar instead of using the Kanji 大 pronounced as “Dai”. Same with Sword, they wrote it like “Sa Do” or something, instead of 剣 pronounced as “Ken”.

I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?

[–] Traister101@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

Because it sounds like English words which is "cool"

Same reason some English people will use Japanese words? I don't know.

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I'd have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 21 hours ago

I watched too much of power rangers on TV as a child.
As a result, I don't find the anime enjoyable.

Even though the premise was fun, I just couldn't tolerate it enough to feel the fun.

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 day ago

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

Because ASS.

[–] vodka@lemm.ee 17 points 1 day ago

Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.

Because it's funny.
