Which romanization (romaji) system do you use?

[Sethra Logoth]

Considering all of us here at Gaia hail from different regions of the globe, I thought it would be prudent to ask which romaji system each of us is used to using, before we all try to learn off of one another. Things could potentially get confusing otherwise. (ie, Different spellings in romaji that are equally correct will probably pop up from time to time, and it's most likely none of us here like unnecessary arguments, yes?)

So, what system of romaji do you use?

There are three major systems for the romanization of Japanese (that I know of). They are Hepburn (Hebon-shiki), Japan-style (Nippon-shiki), and monbusho (Kunrei-shiki, also known as ISO 3602).

I am most familiar with the Hepburn system, although I do have a tendency to mix it with Kunrei spellings.

I will compile a set of examples of differences, for those who are unsure what system they use, or for those who are potentially mixing systems without being aware of it. (Please forgive me if it takes a bit of time, I work full time on top of going to school.)

The hephurn is a romanji system which transcribe sound of japanese language into latiin alphabets. I think there is 2 versions of it. The shusei and hyojun. It is most widely use nowadays because it is oftenly seen in japanese-english dictionary xD Thats all I know about hebon shiki...
