* A note on the reading(s) of 大. だい is the 音読み (Chinese) reading, and so it is used when it stands before words that are also read on. おお is the 訓読み (Japanese) reading and is used when it stands before words that are also read Japanese. Following this logic, 大地震 should be read だいじしん. And that is correct, or rather, it was. Contemporary culture and television have made おおじしん acceptable to native speakers today. Incidentally, there is one more reading for 大, たい. Going into detail, it can be said that だい is often used with 呉音 - Wu readings - and たい often with 漢音 - Han readings, but perhaps it is better just to remember which to use for each word... I found a nice list here: [http://hiramatu-hifuka.com/onyak/kotob-01.html When to use which reading of 大.]

大地震 can also be read だいじしん.
  
*As for 大怪獣, [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AE%87%E5%AE%99%E5%A4%A7%E6%80%AA%E7%8D%A3%E3%82%AE%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A9 wikipedia does have its uses.]

'''TODO''' -- confirm おお vs. だい for 大怪獣
  
*Notice the odd pronunciation of "UFO" in Japanese.

(You don't have JavaScript enabled. If you did, you'd be able to see the handy-dandy fixers we have for reformatting text.)

The below button runs the selected formatting fixers for you.

To run the fixer, first select the text in the edit box that you wish to reformat, then click the button. The handaku/dakuten fixer should be fine to run on an entire page, but for the rest, be careful that only Japanese text is selected.

The fixer does not work in IE (as of IE 8), but it should work in other popular browsers. However, it works better in Chrome than in Firefox, because Firefox scrolls back to the top after running the fixer, and Chrome doesn't. Hence, if you're running the fixer on many small bits of text, you might prefer to use Chrome.
