Same with me, except it's Kanagawa, not Gunma. Hell, I've even got the
two kids with both Japanese and English names - though in my kids' case
the order is reversed and their Japanese names are their middle names.
It's bad enough having to worry about being treated like a sideshow
attraction by Japanese because I sometimes speak to my kids in English
in public, now it seems I have to take care not to tread on poor
O'Neill's feelings.
Luckily I was arrogant long before I developed any proficiency in
Japanese, and so this article does not apply to me.
BTW, Brett, has your hatred for Kevin grown so much that you scour the
internet for material on him, or did you just happen to stumble on that
article while pretending to work?
