Therefor I am correct. Gerald Jones transliterated the English translation
of the Japanese. Viz both translates AND transliterates. The final product
is the result of a two-fold step - translation and transliteration. Two
people for two jobs. Gerald Jones transliterates from English to Merkin.

Toshifumi Yoshida translates - Gerald Jones transliterates. Viz does BOTH.
But the FINAL product, the manga that everyone reads and that some people
takes as 'official' is the *transliterated* version, NOT the translation.
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Um, are you sure that's not "tranSCRIBED"? Or maybe "paraphrased"?

Please don't tell me that I'm wrong when I'm right.

We're just saying things that make you go...
