Glossary
aka List of non Google-translatable words
雑/zatsu means randomness or that it isn't neat. So the #keyboard-zatsu channel means random chat about keyboards.
沼/numa Literally means (submerging in) swamp. Metaphor of obsession or addiction.
オッ/oh Shows something caught one's attention.
進捗どうですか 'How's your progress?' (with little bit of pressure)
Language
Post in Japanese and of course PLAIN English is welcome. It isn't recommended to post the result of machine translations because that may force readers "re-construction of original English sentence" to understand underlying meanings.
So, please write in plain English that can be easily applied machine translations and can help non-native English speakers. It will make your post more be reacted.
We also sometimes reply in plain Japanese. Please enjoy oriental atmosphere with Japanese and apply machine translations on your own, also.
