Is ネコでも分かる・サルでも分かる idiomatic? Judging by how common it seems to be I'd guess that most people would recognize the reference (but don't hold me to that), however given that it's pretty literal in its meaning, even if someone didn't get "the reference" they'd still understand it perfectly. |

How to appropriately display the day of the month by itself? Is 日 required, optional, or undesirable? It kind of depends on the context. Where and in what kind of app is it? And for the record it's fine to write the date as 2013-5-9 as well. |

What is the difference between 出す and 始める when used as a suffix? That seems to be the grammatical suggestion, anyway. I'm a little less certain to suggest this but it may also be the case that there are certain ~出す compounds that are so often used as set phrases that they kind of take on their own separate semantics and can break off of the main patterns. |

Why “you don't have to want to hold”? Looks like a typo to me. Should be 持たなくてもいい. I don't think there's a verb もる that would make sense at all. It can't be "want to carry" because that would be 持ちたい or 持ちたくない as a negative. |

What is その doing in そのあの子? To me it just seems to be explicitly referring the あの子 from before, as you say, like "I just said this thing so I'm using その to refer to it" |

Why aren't マンション mansions? Or are they? I probably just didn't read it thoroughly. I skimmed through the body and found the mansion block reference, so maybe disregard that comment. |
