    There are no spaces between characters in Japanese.

    Also, w or www is the Japanese equivalent of lol.

    EDIT: Wikipedia for the win.

    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.

    Edit:

    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.
    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.
