A tiny but important thing

I like Longman Advanced American Dictionary. I bought the new edition a couple of months ago, but I find the old edition better. This new edition does not contain many taboo versions you can find in the old edition.

I don't recommend even highly advanced English language learners use taboo words intentionally. But, those words should be in the dictionary as long as native speakers use them at times.

Should I get something into my head?


Sometimes I feel like reading a very difficult book written by a philosopher. Or I remind some phrases that are really cynical.

"It's kinda funny, all we know is that we never know who we're talking to."
There is a misunderstanding anywhere, anytime. To realize the fact is not fun, though...

Workstation

In the United States, your workstation is usually a cubicle.


In Japan, your desk is connected to your colleagues' desks. It may be good for all the employees to be cooperative. You cannot concentrate on your own desk work, though.

Go back to the basics!

Recently I have been away from here for a while. But, I will try to write more often from now on.
