Title mistranslation[edit]

The title is an obvious Japanese-english error: it means (as the lead says 'lit.') "living at school", or simply "school life". Is the attempt "School live" actually used in English, and if so how is it pronounced?! As the verb "to live" (liv) or the adjective "live" (laiv, as in live-wire)?

I think fundamentally, en:WP should be written in English, of course using foreign language titles where they exist, but should not really present non-English speakers' attempts as though they were English. (FWIW, there's a shop in the town where I live with one of those gibberish "slogans" that says "LIFE & LIVE", and I've always wondered how to read it!)
