A Moe post would be delightful. Because that is something I still don't understand. Even after reading CCYs blog. Although I think a lot of moe is the insider perceptions of what moe is and the outsider perception of what moe is. Oh… A Moe post would be delightful.

Or rather, the lack thereof. Still, I'm convinced that having the part of my brain which deals with word order learn to switch itself off when studying Latin was extremely useful when I came to read poetry (especially Milton, who basically adopted a lot of Latin word order in his writing). @ TheBigN: I think GAR may be more complex than it seems, but you're right that moe is more complex. Intimidatingly complex. Also, anime which is moe-heavy isn't a staple of my diet (though it's not excluded). Still, I am preparing to bounce the two concepts off of each other, stimulated by a rather interesting recent post from Stripey at Honou ni Taihen desu. @ CP: Ah, Latin syntax.

Is there any chance that you might look at that as well? I'm considering the importance that many place on it as to how it affects how they see anime when I think about it. :P And Michael, is there's a point to the pointing and clicking, then certainly there's some measure of sense involved in the matter. :D GAR as a concept seems much easier to grasp than that of Moe, which seems to be an amalgamation of many traits that have different meanings.

Yeah my teacher always gave us the historical context before we started translating. Granted, with Cicero all the historical context in the world wouldn't help me translate. (Damn those Romans and their lack of sentence structure.) We also did a small bit of the Aenid too. But not a whole bunch of it.
