THIS IS ABOUT CHINA'S SPEECH PATTERN
I mean it is very cute, and I love listening to it in Japanese, and I like tacking it onto the ends of sentences because it's like wearing a big neon sign saying "Chinese". . .
. . . But you guys do realize that it is a Japanese pattern to indicate a style of speech which is archaic and snobby, right?! Rather than tacking "aru" to the ends of normal sentences, China really should be speaking like he knows older words than you and that makes you a young little snot.
I'm not saying you guys should change everything, but what I mean is. . . saying "aru" is not a part of his characterization. Come on.
AND ONE MORE THING
Calling England "Iggy," that's just dumb! It's short for the Japanese name for him, "Igirisu," which WE DO NOT USE AT ALL in English! Every time I see it I think it's short for "Iguana." It makes for a double-snicker inside whenever someone calls him "Lizzie," but really!
