There are some typos and slight grammar mistakes, but very nice work.

I make no claims to fluency, this is all borrowed from various places the best of it translated by my linkshell leader Deceptistar Meow. It has however worked for me to this point, any corrections or additions would be greatly welcomed though.

Yes I am aware of that however for the non-fluent coming from English it is easier to understand this way and not impossible to understand for Japanese people. If you want to try and fool them into actually thinking you are Japanese you'll want to delete the spaces probably.

Spaces or not, after talking with you for more than 10 seconds I'm sure they could tell, but I don't really think it matters as long as you're making effort.

I'd be happy to make slight corrections if you'd like. Should I just copy-paste them in a new post?

Nope 99.99% of the time it doesn't in fact more often than not they are delighted to see someone try and try to speak English to me as much as they are able. However in XI I knew people who faked their way into JP shells under the guise they were in fact Japanese even though they did not know the language at. all. Probably helped that they were playing slutty cat women though (blinds us all).

If you'd like sure, it is for my own use but is not my own translation just my collection so I'd take no offense.

This is a wonderful tool for me. I tried making my own since I joined a Japanese based Linkshell. However, I saved it on notepad and once I brought it up, all the Hiragana was gone. ; - ; I've been trying to at least grasp the basic understanding with romaji and some hiragana, but it's hard. x.x I feel communication is really important though, so I keep trying. =) Thanks again.

I use the program Sticky Notes (not actual sticky notes) for all my note taking needs. Wonderful program doesn't tax the computer at all, and is always up.

great collection, thanks a lot for posting

I know some very basic Japanese but there are a lot of times when I am unsure how to communicate something, and the auto-translate leaves much to be desired. I think I will study over these as I am sure they will come in very handy!

Omae wa mo shindeiru - nice to meet you

Thank you very much for posting this! Yes, I'd love it if this would be added to auto translate. A lot of these would be a huge help. Shame we can't use the "I'm going to my Mog House" one. At least not yet ^_~

I've had problems trying to figure out how to say some things before in auto translate that would make sense to the other person. Any one know if there is a list out there of the words and phrases that are currently available in auto translate?

alc.co.jp is another excellent JP-EN dictionary. I use it all the time.
