[sumo] Shikona spelling

[Larry Piper]

Moti: "If I had that elongated sign over an o that some use on MY 
keyboard, I would probably use it. But I don't.
I just take the hiragana and use the English letter for each 
Japanese one. "


I really appreciate your doing this, Moti.  I know it confuses 
some folks, but one of these days, I want to learn some Japanese. 
  So far, I've mostly gotten to the point where I realize that I 
must first learn it in hiragana, not romanji.  So your 
romanjinizing hiragana makes a lot of sense to me.  Bless you.
