![]() ![]() To that purpose, there are language-specific versions of this alphabet (like German) that have extra words for letters like ä, ö, and ü.Īs I've been learning this, it struck me that the current alphabet consists almost entirely of multi-syllabic words contrast this alphabet with the earlier one above. An additional challenge was to accommodate letters that were not in English. The challenge in developing the alphabet was to meet the criteria I listed earlier and to use words that non-English speakers would be able to speak and understand and that that did not have wildly different pronunciations in different languages. This was adopted in the 1950s and is still standard today here are the letters: After WWII, American and Western European countries settled on what's known as the NATO phonetic alphabet (as I say, not a correct term). Over time it became obvious that it would be useful to standardize on a single such alphabet. During WWII, for example, the US military used a spelling alphabet that began with Able-Baker-Charlie, which might be familiar still to people who went through that conflict (or who love movies set in that time period). Spelling alphabets evolved independently in different branches of the military and in different countries. One of the early English phonetic alphabets ( from 1913) used these words: For example, you wouldn't want to use A=Able and T=Table or B=Bear and F=Fare (or Fair). ![]() It must also use words that are phonetically distinct from one another. Your alphabet must use simple, short words. ![]() Imagine for a moment that you've been assigned to come up with a phonetic alphabet for English. (As those of us of a certain age can remember, pre-digital radio was notoriously subject to static and interference.) Signaling individual letters had of course long been established in the navy, and so spelling alphabets evolved to have a distinct word for each letter. The idea was further developed with the spread of radio technology. This was an early version:Īck Beer C D E F G H I J K L Emma N O Pip Q R Esses Toc U Vic W X Y Z ![]() Initial attempts in the British Army in the 19th century simply assigned alternative names to letters that were frequently misheard. Since the military is very interested in communication, and because they often work under auditorially challenging conditions (such as, say, during battle), spelling alphabets have mostly come from the military. Even if you've never been in the military or gotten a radio license or studied flying, you've probably heard people use a spelling alphabet on TV or in a movie.Īs you can imagine, spelling alphabets were developed for precisely the reason I noted - spelling out loud is fraught, what with all the letters that sound similar (e.g., B, E, P, T, D) and the many vagaries of auditory communication. A spelling alphabet consists of words (Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, etc.) that represent alphabetic characters. This might be one reason that I've developed an interest in the idea of so-called spelling alphabets (frequently referred to, incorrectly, as phonetic alphabets). Even spelling it out doesn't help - P-O-P-E - and I find myself exaggerating the aspiration on those plosives. "Hope?" This is particularly true over the telephone. My name - Pope - is surprisingly easy to mishear. Mike Pope, a technical editor at Microsoft, writes: ![]()

![]() The English word "animation" is written in Japanese katakana as アニメーション ( animēshon) and as アニメ ( anime, pronounced ⓘ) in its shortened form. ![]() The etymology of the term anime is disputed. Other definitions are based on origin, making production in Japan a requisite for a work to be considered "anime". English-language dictionaries typically define anime ( / ˈ æ n ɪ m eɪ/) as "a style of Japanese animation" or as "a style of animation originating in Japan". In Japanese, the term anime is used to refer to all animated works, regardless of style or origin. EtymologyĪs a type of animation, anime is an art form that comprises many genres found in other mediums it is sometimes mistakenly classified as a genre itself. As of 2016, Japanese animation accounted for 60% of the world's animated television shows. Since the 1980s, the medium has also seen widespread international success with the rise of foreign dubbed, subtitled programming, and since the 2010s its increasing distribution through streaming services and a widening demographic embrace of anime culture, both within Japan and worldwide. The anime industry consists of over 430 production companies, including major studios such as Studio Ghibli, Kyoto Animation, Sunrise, Bones, Ufotable, MAPPA, Wit Studio, CoMix Wave Films, Production I.G, and Toei Animation. Diverse art styles are used, and character proportions and features can be quite varied, with a common characteristic feature being large and emotive eyes. Compared to Western animation, anime production generally focuses less on movement, and more on the detail of settings and use of "camera effects", such as panning, zooming, and angle shots. It combines graphic art, characterization, cinematography, and other forms of imaginative and individualistic techniques. Īnime is a diverse medium with distinctive production methods that have adapted in response to emergent technologies. It is classified into numerous genres targeting various broad and niche audiences. In addition to original works, anime are often adaptations of Japanese comics ( manga), light novels, or video games. Anime is distributed theatrically, through television broadcasts, directly to home media, and over the Internet. A characteristic art style emerged in the 1960s with the works of cartoonist Osamu Tezuka and spread in following decades, developing a large domestic audience. The earliest commercial Japanese animation dates to 1917. Video games sometimes also feature themes and artstyles that can be considered as "anime". Many works of animation with a similar style to Japanese animation are also produced outside Japan. However, in Japan and in Japanese, anime (a term derived from a shortening of the English word animation) describes all animated works, regardless of style or origin. Outside Japan and in English, anime refers specifically to animation produced in Japan. Once you are done, you can play around with an array of 3D, screen resolution, and tiling options available, and choose one that befits you.Anime ( Japanese: アニメ, IPA: ⓘ) is hand-drawn and computer-generated animation originating from Japan. ![]() Right-click the image and select the option to set it as your background.

When a borrower consistently makes additional payments, he could save thousands of dollars on his loan. The main benefit of paying extra on a home mortgage or personal loan is saving money. Depending on the size of the loan and the extra payments, and the number of additional payments the borrower makes, he could pay off his loan much earlier than the original term. When a borrower makes additional principal payments to reduce the balance, he is essentially reducing interest payments on his loan. The interest payment is basically recalculated each month based on the loan balance. However, the principal and interest amount change as time progresses. On a fixed-interest loan, the monthly payments remain the same throughout the loan.
