1.10. Limitations of the sci.lang.japan FAQ

Mostly modern

This FAQ deals mostly with modern Japanese language, which reflects the interests of the maintainer and many of the posters on sci.lang.japan. However, sci.lang.japan contains experts on classical Japanese.

Lack of computer information

This FAQ does not cover the usage of Japanese on computers in any detail. The Japanese language changes very slowly compared to the rate of change of computer systems. Recording FAQs about computer systems is unlikely to be of lasting value. Almost all of the information about computers from 1994, when this FAQ started, is now out of date. It is probably best to either do a web search for some relevant information, or just ask your question on sci.lang.japan.

One maintainer plus your help

This FAQ was written by one maintainer plus help from the posters on sci.lang.japan. I'm not an expert linguist and my Japanese may be far from perfect, so please help me with this effort. If you find any mistakes in this FAQ, please contact me.
