Ah, thanks mikkih, I see what he did there. Something like "10 years later plus change later"?

You got it. It's like .. in the next 10 years 10 years plus; in 10 years a little over 10 years; 10 years later + later

I can't make out the first two kanji in the image. ? の ? に球が入る

Sorry, the image is too blurry for me. The first character may be "体"(からだ).　Can you by any chance read the yomigana on top of kanji?

I think the second is 間 (あいだ), but only from context and because the first character of the yomigana looks like either あ or お. 体 actually seems like it would fit for the first one, too.

That section of the page is defining a sports term that evidently doesn't have an English equivalent (at least according to several Japanese blog posts I found on the topic). Judging by the definitions I can find for the term, however, the above makes the most sense.

This is from a manga I'm translating. One character is doing a snarky comment on another's horrible singing voice. For the life of me, I can't tell what some of the kanji are.
What I can read is: 「オマエ　(免？)？　？(々？)は 本当に　ダメだな」

For the most part, I'm just having a bit of difficulty with the four kanji after 'omae'. I tried sharpening it and adjusting the levels, but it doesn't help much. The first kanji seems like it has 心 at the bottom, but no matches from midori. The second almost seems to have 虫 in the bottom-right. Other than that I haven't the faintest clue @.@.

Anyways, help is appreciated.

オマエ勉強以外は本当にダメだな

Ah, thanks again Mikkih ^_^. I was trying too hard to find out why I couldn't recognize the first kanji when the second would have given me the clue. It makes perfect sense given the character, so you got it right. Well, I guess I still have a bit of a ways to go in kanji recognition, but I'm getting there on the translation front.

Re: Request Thread

Does anybody recognize these kanji ?
Although being a unclear image, somebody translated it as 'kan'.

洩?

You could identify a kanji in a sentence by context. Unless the one I suggested makes sense to you, you may want to list the whole sentence.

Thanks mikkih, now that finally makes sense. Now if someone would explain these alternative kanji to MS IME.

I also think we should be able to type all the abbreviated characters listed on Wiki　(link) for example. You can't display the character unlike ㋮, so I guess 广マ is the only way to type.
