I just learned that “bento” (弁当), as in the box lunch, uses “ben” 弁 meaning “dialect” and not “ben” 便 meaning “convenient,” and I am irrationally annoyed.
Ballot finally received Friday, Nov. 4 in Japan. Mailing back first thing in the morning Saturday, Nov. 5. Will they get it by Noon Fri EST? #WillItCount #IDontLikeThisGame

Glad to see my ballot arrive on time, courtesy of USPS Express Shipping. Not quite overnight at this distance, but it gets the job done.

My ballot is allegedly still in the mail, hoping to see it soon. Waiting to see if my vote gets counted [before or after my Congress-critter, City Council, and School Board are seated]. 🙄 (Before offering advice, know that I am >6500mi from my State's nearest Elections Office)

The secret to passing the JLPT is to stop studying Japanese and instead study for the JLPT
