comment What's the meaning of しない as in …するしない?
Thanks, but I'm still confused why this is given explicitly to illustrate 'noun + にかかわらず'. How can a verbform be a noun?

comment Why use あんなに instead of こんなに when expressing one's memories?
Thanks. I guess maybe my brain wants to see symmetry where there isn't. I.e. there are situations where こ becomes そ (and vice versa) and あ stays あ depending on who's speaking. And then there are situations where there is no こ, and for some things あ and そ are interchanged depending on the speaker, and for other things, both use あ. Does that make sense?

Thanks! I wouldn't vouch for my translation of the last example. In fact, now that I read it, your translation seems to make so much more sense than mine. The example sentence is an from my JP-JP dictionary and is given without any context :)
