Leading the Witness
So yesterday (yeah, I know, lag and stuff), I started working on our current project for Japanese class, which is to write a paper on the plot of a manga or a novel or a game or a movie or something and then present it to the class, preferably a work that we've experienced in Japanese in the first place. And I'm doing 逆転裁判/Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, which mainly leads to me sitting in class and looking up how to say things like "the prosecution is leading the witness" instead of working on my actual paper.
Which is something I now know how to say in Japanese. What are you talking about, I'd be the best Japanese lawyer ever. (They get one thing American lawyers don't, which are neat shiny badges. But the ones prosecutors get look cooler.)
Anyway, so I learned how to say this, and obviously I had to then tell my friends. On two separate occasions, the dialogue went like this--
Me: hey, hey, guess what? I learned how to say "the prosecution is leading the witness" in Japanese class today. Isn't that cool?
Friend: That reminds me! Did you hear about the Edgeworth game they announced?
This proves something to me. Miles Edgeworth, you are inextricably linked in the minds of the public with leading the witness. I hope you're proud of yourself.
