Silly Cubs fans...
... katakana is for non-japanese words! So I went to the Rays game last night and had so much fun! We were surrounded by C(h)ubbie fans who were very vocal and ignorant about the Japanese language. For those of you who don't follow baseball, both our teams (and many others) have Japanese players on their rosters. Fukudome plays for the Cubs and Iwamura plays for the Rays.
There were a couple of Fukudome fans in front of us and on the back of their shirts had his name spelled out in Japanese..... BUT USING THE WRONG WRITING SYSTEM. :D (The Japanese language has four writing systems. See image below.) This completely made my evening and I hope they didn't pay too much for those shirts!
I wasn't gonna say anything to them, but they pointed to their shirts as I walked by because I had my Iwamura shirt on... so I let them know that they're idiots.
