I'm living in Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo, Japan. I worked in both local and international advertising agencies for 40 years. After retiring ad agency, I studied Chinese (now almost forgotten) in a Beijing university one and a half year. Then coming back to Japan, I worked as a marketing consultant. I'm now entirely free from business. I still keep learning English and reading English news papers everyday to be abreast with trends du jour. I like travel and photographing. I'm living with my wife as an empty-nester.

Apr 27	comment	What does “E!” mean in the phrases, a show “makes the debut Sunday E! sets in motion,” and “premiers on E! April 21”? Gee! I missed that Russell Borogove already told me that the 'y' turns into a 'dj' sound in his comment. So please neglect the above question.

Apr 25	comment	What is the difference of nuance between the statements: “Why had they not already killed their hostage? and “Why didn’t they kill their hostage”? @dotsamuelswan. What does 'experience an unfortunate coffee drought' mean just for my curiosity? Is it something like a hangover?

Apr 25	comment	What does “E!” mean in the phrases, a show “makes the debut Sunday E! sets in motion,” and “premiers on E! April 21”? To those who voted for closing this question: Please have in mind that besides four of you 'close voters,'some of them are habitual, there are 258 users right now who were perhaps interested in reading this question and don’t feel the need to close it. Isn’t it unfair if only 4 -5 (2%) votes should control the rest of 258’s (98%) options?
Apr 25	comment	Is the phrase, “a bloody altercation” an accurate way to describe the Officer’s killing at the MIT campus? If the word, ‘altercation’ is applied to the events of ‘the gun doing the noisy talking,’ all the stories of cowboy pictures are about (bloody or not-bloody) altercation,’ and heroes played by Gary Cooper and John Wayne are 'experts of altercation,’ aren’t they?

Apr 24	comment	What is the difference of nuance between the statements: “Why had they not already killed their hostage? and “Why didn’t they kill their hostage”? Isn't it an argument for 'simple past' versus 'past perfect' tenses?
