Certainly. You'll be notified the morning of the hanging, and I'll inform your family afterwards.

Anyway, I generally prefer the style of romanization used by tourist guide books.

No matter how long we FG study and use the language, we'll always be messing up long vs. short vowels. And of course, if you offer grammar suggestions, you always make a mistake while doing so, it's Murphy's Law.

Yukio likes hanging. And to think a FG being number 11, I'm sure he must be slobbering (very solemnly).

Sorry what was the question?
