Right on! Great powers of observation!

No offense to the subber (whoever he may be ). I even blamed my own laziness.

I've expressed here before my admiration and gratitude for these unsung heroes. Just for this episode alone, somebody must have been up all night, slaving away for my benefit for no thanks or reward. I personally appreciate it tremendously.

In my opinion, this must be a particularly difficult series to sub; high profile, lots of competition, lots of pressure, all those tiny fleeting phone messages.

The examples I cited were very nuanced. I didn't say "inaccurate". I said "not", which is worse. Sorry

I apologize for my inaccuracy in that characterization. "Herself" can certainly be an interpretation of hontai. I myself feel that a more useful interpretation here (like real form/substance) would express the physicality of the expression so that I know it's not a upload of the software (or essence/personality), for instance.

Again, I have the greatest respect for these guys who certainly owe me nothing. I have no right nor intention to bring anybody to task. They have as much right to interpret expressions as they see fit as I do.
