Hey, I'm walkin' here
This week's poll was suggested by gomichandesu. We did a similar poll about 6 years ago, but this one has more detailed options. Last time, it was about a 50/50 split between translating it into a different accent vs. just using a translation note.

I currently don't have an in-unit dryer, so I have to hang dry my clothes. My clothes feel hard after drying since my water isn't the softest

We're primarily a manga site, so I'm not surprised to see Japanese as the top
