"Monster" is spelled "monsuta" , i kinda expect it to be spelled "monsutaru" because the english word ends with a hard "r" You have to keep in mind that japanese has a somewhat limited set of "valid" syllables so katakana loanwords will often just be a best attempt approximation. Consider how basically no one speaking english would ever say monsteru but depending on their accent they might get pretty close to monsta or monstah reading katakana can be tricky but turning english words into katakana is basically the final boss of japanese Damn sounds pretty menacing --- ManWithGun has a big iron on his crotch <cite>Lunaaaa posted [p:922922321] in Update on ...
