Sorry if I mess up this article. Netscape is a rapist.

* My "real" moniker is not "Juuitchan". I just use this here because I am on an English site. I would prefer じゅういっちゃん, except not many of you would be able to read it! I am trying to make this point: I think we should use kana transcription for all Japanese names which do not have an accepted English form, and also romanize っち as "tchi".

Original	Right	Wrong	Reason
じゅういっちゃん	Juuitchan	Juitchan, Juuicchan, Juicchan	Kana transcription
とうきょう	Tokyo	Toukyou, Tookyoo	"Tokyo" is the accepted English name.
じょうちだいがく	(Do not romanize.)	Jochi Daigaku, Jouchi Daigaku, Jouchi University, Jochi University	Use the official English name, "Sophia University".

'Nuff said?
