Japan’s Supreme Court has dismissed Okinawa’s rejection of a central government plan to build U.S. Marine Corps runways on the island and ordered the prefecture to approve it despite protests by locals who oppose the American troops’ presence.

      I’ve been using it since before reddit existed. You’d almost think that people from different areas talk differently.

          How is that hard to believe? I was already an adult when the Internet became open to the public. My basic speech patterns were pretty well set by then.

          English is one of the most spoken languages on the planet. How is it you expect everyone to sound the same?

          Maybe you should consider traveling.
