". Some numpty got it wrong and made up a word based on how the japanese sounds.


What is wrong with a new word (otherwise I'm very conservative on such matters) when there is no english word that describes the situation meant.

But there were already two words, "Blurry" or "Fuzzy". The numpty that did it not being a linguist thought they were using a new word but in his/her ignorance they didn't know the word boke already existed in the english language and means something completely different. So they didn't invent a new word. They stupidly used an existing word and assigned it a new meaning thereby confusing the meaning of the word boke that already existed. That is the act of a complete fool.

Just so you're not in any doubt, see:

In my neck of the woods, developing time is often pronounced, "oops"

I did not know that Julius Caeser processed film. When he crossed the Rubicon he said "Alea jacta est", ["The die is cast"]

Wrong. Alea iacta sunt, plural. The dice are thrown.

Julius Caesar said "Alea jacta est", the die is cast. He did not say "Alea iacta sunt", the dice are cast. We is talking classical stuff here, man. Duude!

Actually, if you want to pick nits, he probably didn't. He was a posh Roman, so he spoke Greek. His quotes were translated back into Latin for the history books.

Actually he sent a message to Rome with that as the message. Not all Romans read Greek.
