On day Thu, 03 Feb 2005 15:51:22 -0600 looked the Lord upon his prophet,
and the prophet was numbered among those called Joshua A. Reyer. And thus
spake the prophet:

Aaah, right, I should have spotted that right away. Especially in the
light of recent discussion on 先生 vs. 教師 (I still can't believe
it's "normal", or even acceptable to refer to yourself as "Mr. Something"
in US, as some of debaters claimed, and none of my American friends agree
with that claim, so I remain unconvinced :)
Cheers,
Maciej
