I have to make another confession on this board (possibly shedding some light into why I'm so rude sometimes to noobs)—when I was young and dumb in junior high or early high school, I thought I could write my name is 海留月 or something. So sometimes noobs remind me of how incredibly dumb I was about Japanese while at the same time being incredibly sure I was that I knew what I was doing.
