Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 1-3-2007(203): Good evaluation should always be words of even fairness.

2) [pm215] 1-1-2009(118): You get an evaluation copy of MS Word because you want to evaluate whether it's worth buying the full version. At the end of the evaluation period the CD turns into a lilypad so you can't use it any more (an innovative new copy-protection trick).

3) [taijuando] 4-7-2006(46): Gardeners have developed many words to evaluate the health of lilies.

4) [javiergakusei] 22-9-2007(34): The first time I delivered a speech in japanese it was a mess! The juries (it was contest) Evaluated me and gave me a bad score because the Words were not said in an Even tone. I guess I was too nervous (true story).

5) [Thunderball] 24-9-2007(22): Words have to come out in an even tone during a Japanese speaking test, otherwise your evalutation will have bad comments written all over it, resulting in criticism from your teacher. He your (ひょう) teacher though, so it's his fault! NOTE: This kanji also means 'comment' & 'criticism'.
