I had the idea too with [[Tide]]'s page being named Tide but something else came up. I got Tide's japanese name when I searched on here (Brine, prior to the revelation of being unrelated to tide, and Whirlpool had the now-called Shio translation). Good thing you were there to fix the translations. [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 23:42, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

:The problem was that while "'''しお'''" ''means'' "tide", it is ''read as'' "shio", because Japanese and English obviously have different words for the same things. Learning to read {{wp|katakana}} and {{wp|hirakana}} is pretty easy and very useful for anyone who watches, reads, and plays Japanese anime, manga, and games, respectively. I learned it three years ago when I was 15.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#AB0909">電</font><font color="#063A73">禅</font>]]<small>[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#fff" face="Tahoma"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.2em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Den Zen</span></font>]]</small>''' 00:02, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
