I don't know Japanese so when typing it I don't have the benefit of muscle memory like when typing in English. The really long words are especially difficult.

You really should get the English Dreamcast version, it's the best version of the game. AFAIK it's the only version that is both in English and allows for 2 players (They made an English PC version but it's single player only).
One of my projects that I might get around to eventually is to hack the rom for the NAOMI version and see if I can put the English dictionary from the DC or PC version to make an English language arcade version of the game.
I think it'd be sweet to have a English language TOTD arcade machine... not really a high priority project for me, especially because I have no idea how to rom hack

I sent an email to the seller yesterday morning asking if the VOOT machine sold at auction and if he was still interested/able to take me up on my part out offer but I haven't heard from him yet.
I guess I can see if I can get in touch with the consignor, but they will probably demand a ridiculous price.
