“While 目が覚める (me ga sameru) can describe “returning to your senses”. I know that these subtle differences exist because I just googled it in Japanese, and then my Japanese wife Rei, super-editor and language extraordinaire, hasn’t deleted this sentence from the book.”

“It was normal to sacrifice animals. Rats, pigeons, pigs. Dogs. Chimpanzees. Biology had always suffered the cognitive push-pull of proving that humans were just another kind of animal while at the same time claiming to be morally different in kind.

“Don’t follow my mother-in-law’s bad example. And don’t listen to me if you enjoy offending people. If you don’t enjoy offending people, a less rude word for “you” is あなた (anata), where the middle character is な (na) instead of ん (n). But you hardly ever need to be saying that, either. Call people by their names in Japanese whenever possible.”
