Not Japanese-American, either, but visiting scholars from Japan who will go back to Japan in a year or two. <br /><br />A couple of weeks ago in lab meeting, a reference was made to something happening today (i.e., December 7) and I muttered (without thinking, just to make the information stick in my brain) "day of infamy". I was fairly mortified as soon as I realized what I'd said, and my boss shot me quite the look. <br /><br />Fortunately, I don't think that my colleagues' English comprehension is quite sharp enough to have caught it. <br /><br />Or, being Japanese, they were far too polite to mention it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799024060528185282noreply@blogger.com
