Not even sure if it's "o-hoshii", ni hoshii, or ga hoshii.......Just going by what I'm assuming is correct when it comes to the always complicated Japanese particles lol...
Fo sho. I'd never use the impolite terms to speak. But I'll be damned if I ever want to understand the regular Japanese person (or anime lol) without it heh. I noticed the typical Japanese person mixes up the formal and informal a lot anyway. Some "impolite" terms almost seem more polite sometimes. For instance, I almost never heard anyone say "wakarimasen" while I was there. I pretty much always heard "wakaranai".

Anyway... DERAILEDz0rz!!!
