I'm really worrying about it.
You can always say the "black wind" blew it over.

Isn't it good that you have people like us? (especially Kenji) That would have gone to print, and all would have been lost.

artistic fiasco, to deal out his own brand of knuckleduster Jersey justice, why, I'd feel obligated to provide him with an alibi. Wouldn't you? (Though maybe that's not a question to ask a black-robed arbiter...)
Where do you come up with these ideas? Either you have an overactive imagination or...maybe you need a hobby? :p

Oh!!! I'm glad to hear that.
Now I can sleep without worrying about it.

Well, I just did my job. If it was left wrong, you would not get right Japanese.

For those of us who can't read Japanese, (and it's likely there's only one individual on this board who can -- right Kenji?
) we'd never know the difference.But for those people out there who can read Japanese, it makes all the difference in the world. They might roll their eyes and not buy the book based on that mistake.
This reminds me of those who say that perfection is the enemy of the good. If we didn't try to make things perfect, there wouldn't be any "good."
I'm glad everything turned out well, and thank you for your assistance Kenji.

Yes, I know. Sometimes when I see Hollywood movies, I find strangely wrong Japanese words.(For example....in Blade Runner).

Because of mistake? No, I don't think so. At least, I understand it's "Black Wind", even if one character's position was not right.

Well, I'm not perfectionist. But Mr. Monteleone asked me about Kanji, and I taught it to him. But it had a little mistake. So I taught it need fix it.
