natalie, aoi is the japanese word for both blue and green. it is the word used for green traffic lights now as well as for the color of sky, aozora,

japanese also has a word for green, midori, but it's a noun not an adjective.  people also use sorairo sky color for skyblue. my car is sorairo

@ Dallas Gaytheist:

I recently saw someone make a similar comment on TV.

"You're overwhelmed, Mr Freeze is underwhelmed, why can't anybody just be whelmed anymore?"

I found it interesting in that video that they could not see the blue square on the left.

Interesting Natalie. I'm sure there would be brain differences. The brain is very plastic.

You can debunk something, but why can’t you bunk something?

Colors and words -- interesting! Historically, the Japanese had words for green and blue, but the border between them was in a different place: dark or kelly green was considered blue, and lime green was considered green. So they had "blue" grass, and "blue" traffic lights, although we would definitely consider them green. What is interesting is that, with Western influence, the usage of these words has changed within my lifetime. When I first went to Japan in 1968, other things with the same hue as grass or traffic lights were still called blue, but now they're being called green. The only linguistic anachronisms that persist are the aforementioned grass and traffic lights, but if you ask them, they will say they are really green. So I wonder if the brains of the young folks would exhibit differences from the brains of the older people!
