Hmmm, that's exactly how the 20yo pronounced it.
The translation differed.
I'll go with yours, (he doesn't have the benefit of an extensive English
Lexicon)
but still no payment I'm afraid.


"Asia-translation"
Well, well, as I seem to have my professional hat on this evening,
allow me to demonstrate why I cost 20 (Australian) cents + GST a
word. From Kenkyusha's Japanese-English Dictionary:
"Inshi: A stamp; a revenue stamp ..."
(You'll have to take my word for it that the two large central
characters are pronounced 'inshi', I'm afraid.)
