After a name there's (f), (m), (p), (s), or (u) listed. I'm guessing f = female name. M = male name. But I'm not sure and I'd like to find out what the others mean.

I did not know about pressing Shift once or twice, really useful!!! I actually learned about this Firefox add-in the first time from an earlier Japanesepod101 podcast. Along with moji, I use it a lot when reading Japanese Newspaper sites or the NHK site or others. Alongside rikaichan/moji, there is a lot of helpful stuff for Japanese learners that I found on the Internet or that Japanese-learning friends told me about: 1. Firefox extension for displaying furigana: rubysupport_en.xpi 2. Browser (based on IE) for reading Asahi shinbun including furigana: WebUDSetup (unfortunately needs computer setup as Japanese) 3. Editors for writing Japanese (including dictionary): jwpce (from http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~grosenth/jwpce.html) and wakan (from wakan.manga.cz) 4. Places for listening to Japanese news: http://podcast.yomiuri.co.jp/ and rtsp://stream.nhk.or.jp/rj/on_demand/rm/japanese.rm (downloadable using FlashGet) Best wishes from Germany Hello,
