Well there's $B0[@example.com(B <isetsu> and $B0\@example.com(B <isetsu>. $B0[@example.com(B <isetsu> of course
means different, divergent view or opinion. $B0\@example.com(B <isetsu> would mean
something like 'transfer facility' wouldn't it? I don't suggest this
as a good translation; in fact this no doubt falls into the category
of bad translations that you already have. What are some of the
others? I'm just curious about it myself. Context would be nice.
