I couldn't stop laughing about yubikiri. This is what my wife says to me when I promise her we'll do something special that she's looking forward to. So while I understood the general meaning of the saying this certainly clears things up for me. Anyway, great job guys, this is certainly the 'real deal' when it comes to the Japanese language and something we're not likely to learn in any textbook! Hi Guys,

How can Tom Cruise play a samurai with no topknot and that beard? I don't know how people still take him seriously after all that ridiculous Scientology stuff anyway. L. Ron Hubbard - mediocre science-fiction novelist turned Messiah. 直美先生、訂正ありがとうございました。Originally I used ピーターのように and なる, but then I started thinking in terms of English, which is always a disaster!
