> [everyday Japanese] has nothing to do with the one used in manga

Depends on the manga you read. There are plenty of manga revolving around everyday life, so called "slices of life" by the Western fans. I'd say they tend to use your regular everyday Japanese.

He even goes on to give an example of everyday Japanese as something nobody outside of a manga would say.
You misquoted me :)

I said/meant that the Japanese learned at school, the one used by people everyday and the one at mangas are 3 different versions of the same language. I still do agree with what you say though.
