The Nature of 中

Aさん：「Ever notice that the Japanese character 中 looks just like the Greek letter φ?」

Zさん："Whoa. It all makes sense. China is the golden ratio country. When you are deep in thought, you are contemplating the golden ratio.  Junior High School is the golden ratio ... school."

Aさん：「... oh ... also... it's the angle between the x,y-plane and the z-axis in a spherical coordinate system.」

Zさん："Well, now you're just being absurd."

Profound Pronoun Pronunciation

Zさん："In Japanese, men refer to themselves as わたし, and women refer to themselves as あたし。Men also refer to themselves as ぼく, so does that mean women can refer to themselves as おく？

Aさん：「。。。あか。」

Equinox

Zさん："I always get the Japanese words for the Vernal Equinox and Autumnal Equinox confused because they sound so similar: しゅんぶん and しゅうぶん。"
Aさん：「In Autumn, the 'n' is silent.」
Zさん："... なるほど ..."

Hamlet

Zさん："I heard Hamlet is playing at the old theater downtown. Have you seen it yet?"
Aさん：「まだです。」
Zさん："まだ most foul."
Aさん：「。。。」

Diffy Q

Zさん："Did you know that the Japanese words for wedding and math equation share a kanji?"
Aさん：「There's nothing quite so romantic as a differential equation.」
 

yada yada

Zさん："I am not really a fan of how MetroPCS hijacked the meaning of the phrase 'yada yada'. I prefer the Seinfeld version from back in the 90s. What do you think?"
Aさん：「。。。嫌だ。」

+ - ' "

Aさん：「Flathead? Philips? Why don't Americans just say + and -   ?」

Zさん："分？秒？Why don't Japanese people just use ' and "  ?
