this probably needs some serious rewriting...can someone who knows both japanese and english please deal with this?

Demetrius Demetrius October 22, 2010 October 22, 2010 at 8:21:31 PM UTC link Permalink

I can understand it. :)

I think all it needs is a comma after 'increasing'... isn't it?

If indeed communication "increases", I debate that the "kinds of communications methods" are "increasing". I'd rather write "multiplying"...

(I've written 'become better' in my Rus/Bel translations. Unlink them if you use 'multiplying' please)

sacredceltic sacredceltic October 22, 2010 October 22, 2010 at 8:32:03 PM UTC link Permalink

but "increase" doesn't mean "becoming better"...It may increase for the worst...

Demetrius Demetrius October 22, 2010 October 22, 2010 at 8:34:24 PM UTC link Permalink

OK, changed to 'multiply' in Rus. and Bel.

Just as all kinds of communications methods are increasing the human relationships are becoming weak. A perfect case of mistaking means for ends.
