I don't think you're being fair to Chris Penner. He ends his blog post with: "It may take me another 5 years to finally finish it, but at some point we'll continue this journey and…

What LaTeX package does one use to get the "back" link at the end of footnotes like the linked PDF exhibits?

In the sense that the author uses the word "retarded" to mean that it takes Japanese longer to learn their language than other cultures then yes, the author is correct. Japanese st…

I lived in Japan for nearly 3 years. I speak, or at least used to speak with fair fluency and I can confirm that this is somewhat accurate. I would add that many Japanese high scho…
