Campione

Hi, thank you for editing Campione. Just a minor suggestion: could you try to consolidate your edits (at least by "part" if not by chapter) instead of doing 20 or so small edits consecutively? Thanks and keep up the good work! --Zzhk (talk) 04:30, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

In response to your edit note: it's 'senpai' 先輩 in kanji, believe.

Somewhere along the long the line I thought sempai might be associated with females and senpai for males. Definitely seen the use of sempai elsewhere before so wouldn't necessarily dismiss it as a typo--Drowzycow (talk) 11:19, 13 September 2012 (CDT)

Actually, there is really no "m" in Japanese. There's 'ma', 'mi', 'mu', 'me', 'mo'... but the closest Japanese phoneme to the English 'm' is 'n'. The word 'senpai' is spelled in hiragana as せんぱい(se/n/pa/i). That's why some loan words like 'computer' are pronounced strangely コンピュータ (ko/n/pyu/ta).
