    What is ベロベロ?I think it'd be a good thing to translate your own mistakes... XD

    At univeristy where in my group is about 20 people, mistakes are quite common. the funny ones that I remember are:

    ブス (ugly girl) instead of バス (bus). Luckily, it was only at lesson...

    しょ�*だい (candlestand) instead of しゅ�*だい (homework) [shokudai/shukudai I don't understand what's wrong it's not displaying correctly.]

    学生の男 (student's man) instead of 男の学生 (male student).

    I myself don't remember such thing happening to me.

    That was ペロペロ not ベロベロ.

    Ok!! XD I didn't see properly. I'm short-sighted...

    Anyway, what does it means? I don't know onomatopoeia too well...

    It's a known forum glitch. (Although I don't know when it's going to get fixed).

    As a work around you can try selecting Western European encoding before typing your post.
