hepburn

If Hepburn can be acknowledged to be better than Kurei-Shiki, then Wade-Giles is also better than Pinyin.

And asking whether the son of Sam Walton deserves wealth is like asking whether Audrey Hepburn deserves to be beautiful.

When reading this it occurred to me there might have been more reason for adopting the Hepburn spelling than stated.

It's neither Hepburn nor Kunrei-shiki, which can be confusing if you are a Russian Language learner and know Japanese or English.

Perhaps the adoption of the Hepburn spellings is a Japanese hint suggesting that we try a little harder.

Sort of like how the movie Charade staring Carry Grant and Audrey Hepburn is public domain (due to failure to file back when that was required in the 1970's) but the soundtrack is not.

So writing sensē is kinda on-brand (even if Hepburn didn’t write like this, because in his times it still wasn’t pronounced with long e).

What interests me is whether we will see legislation similar to the Elkins and Hepburn act for digital goods and services.

To correct the problems of the Elkins Act, the Hepburn Act was passed in 1906 greatly expanding the power of the ICC to regulate the Railroad Industry.

Reminds me of the scene in The Aviator where the Hepburn family obviously can care less about money to the point of obnoxiousness, and state they don't discuss it.

It's an interesting choice to suggest that the switch to Hepburn romanisation was motivated for a desire to better help English speakers pronounce Japanese words when tsunami is your example.

Nihon-shiki romanization is also deeply flawed (I don’t know any language with Roman-based script that would spell shatyou as shachou in English), yet Japanese people are thought Nihon-shiki romanization instead of something that makes more sense such as Hepburn romanization.

William Gibson would be proud: "Audrey Hepburn(tm) (C) 2013 Sean Hepburn Ferrer and Luca Dotti.

You need to know previously the word to write from Hepburn to Kana when "ō" is present because data is lost in such transliteration from おう or おお or オー to Hepburn.

It also brings to mind the movie "Sabrina" with Audrey Hepburn, who father in the movie was a chauffeur so that he could spend his days reading books while between driving stints.

Writing 王 as "ou" is "wāpuro rōmaji" or modified Hepburn.

In these cases, the word is first romanized using Hepburn, and then adapted to Russian using English-to-Russian rules.

Holiday - Inferior to the later Hepburn/Grant remake, but still a solid rendition of the play.

Audrey Hepburn's digital likeness was used in a galaxy commercial, and her estate was paid for the rights, so there is some precedent here.
