And it's so different from English; It makes me want to learn more Japanese just so I can tell which translation is "closer". As it is I've found a few places where the official translation took more liberties than I like. (My favorite scanlators stopped doing FMA some 20 chapters back D: I miss their translations, they always tried to take as few liberties with the meaning as possible.)
