Oh, before I forget:

Anybody out there REALLY fluent in Chinese (mostly written) and need a job?

My bosses are hiring. It's basically the same geographical work I do (i.e. really cushy if you're good at lateral thinking), but in Chinese. That and basic web literacy are the main requirements, though knowing a bit about global culture sure doesn't hurt.

Let me know if this interests anybody!

you see the word "whatsoever" fairly often, and "whosoever" in some formal contexts (and "whomsoever" in even more formal ones), but why not "wheresoever" or "whensoever" or "whysoever"?

Hideo Kojima, Quentin Tarantino, Shigeru Miyamoto, whoever you want to apply that label to, they're all GENIUSES. Visionaries. They've all revolutionized their medium in some way.

But none of them did it alone. Kojima didn't make MGS by himself. Tarantino didn't film Pulp Fiction on his own. They had help.

Auteur theory diminishes the collaborative effort of contemporary media and reduces it all to a single person who gets credit for everything.

Not only is that useless, it's unfair.
