I could have sworn the coin is called a 'nickel'.

>Yeah, but I think that's a silly sheme.

Curious.  I've thought anyone familier with English would like Hepburn style
Romaji than that of formal one.

For an example, when we say Kanpai, we close mouth for 'n' in KaNpai,
whence, I believe, James Hepburn thought it should be KaMpai.  However,
formal one is Kanpai, of course.

are you one of those guys who is person b in this conversation:

a) can i borrow x?
b) i belive you can yes.
a) okay, damit, /may/ i borrow x?

and, to rebutt, webster believes it's a word

	http://webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=nickle&submit=Look+It+Up

and we, unlike the french, do not trust the government to define
our language. which language, since you're being pedantic about it,
should probablly be called "american english" or "american" (as
everyone who does not live in the us calls it).
