I love cohesive design: showing that you care enough to design something amazing from the bottom up is a requirement to really get my attention.
I love little details: I probably sweat the details in everything I do—a true strength and weakness—more than anyone I've ever met.
I don't settle when it comes to The User Experience: users, at the end of the day, are the only ones who matter, so if I'm not unwavering in my determination to create the ultimate User Experience, then I'm not doing my job.
Other than that, I enjoy studying Japanese and whistling like a pro to my favorite songs.

What is an expression that means “of course!” as if suddenly realizing something? Ah, these both sound familiar and seem to fit the scenarios I was thinking about. Thanks! |

Usage of すみません (sumimasen) versus ごめんなさい (gomen'nasai) Thank you for this explanation. It's nice to be able to explain something at a purely conceptual level, but being able to interject example scenarios for common usage really helps me to grasp the context more. |

What is the breakdown of countries where loan words originate? @JesseGood What I mean is words that are written using katakana, not kanji. Is that what you meant? |

Is there a generally accepted “rule” for truncating loan words? Really appreciate the detailed explanation and the clarification about ドンマイ. |

Can ま be used as an interjection to connote an indignant tone? I think the situation I was thinking of actually called for "well" as a translation, only the speaker happened to have an indignant tone. Thanks! |

What is the meaning of ～んです? Can you elaborate a bit more (perhaps with an example) on your last paragraph? I'm not sure I fully understand. Thanks for the rest, though! |

Can ま be used as an interjection to connote an indignant tone? On second thought, this question is probably not the best. I can't think of or find any examples that would change the basic meaning of ま, except as it would be altered by intonation. However, this pretty much applies to any word or phrase, so it should be closed. Sorry! |

Why does お[馬鹿]{ばか}さん contain honorific お? Well, the さん wasn't too concerning to me as much as the お. |

Why does お[馬鹿]{ばか}さん contain honorific お? Interesting. I wasn't aware that honorifics could be used like this. |

Why does お[馬鹿]{ばか}さん contain honorific お? Ah, I see. I've edited my question to reflect that. Still, my question remains as to why the honorific is there. |

When is it appropriate to say ご[機嫌]{きげん}よう? Yes, I had observed (in anime, for all that's worth) that individuals would use it in both contexts, which is interesting to me. |

Why are there so many sound symbolic words? Wow, amazing answer! |

Who decides what katakana will be used to form English loan words? I don't see how saying katakana is part of Japanese is inaccurate. It's part of the process of learning the language, the syllabary used for loan words. And I'll elaborate in my question about why, in particular, I like katakana. |

Why is katakana sometimes used to replace hiragana? Oooh, I see. Thanks for the bonus. I was going to ask about っ used like that, actually. :) Do you think that katakana can also be used in place of hiragana to "sound cool?" |

Which kanji has the greatest number of strokes? @ジョン Aw, not fair, I've only seen it romanized. :) |

How can 「うん」 be used to mean both “yes” and “no?” On a side note, I really need to go through Genki myself. I've been stuck with some pretty awful textbooks in my Japanese classes so far! |

Which kanji has the greatest number of strokes? @Matt Taito is the name of a video game company. Does that make it real? ;) |
