I've been working on the first chapter of my capstone today, and I decided to take Burg's advice and look up the definition of some of the terms I'm using (identity and ethnicity, specifically).

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/03/10/nc.sex.offenders/index.html Is anybody else bothered that "sex offenders" and "child predators" are used interchangeably? I'd expect that from advocacy groups, politicians, and the media, but the state Attorney General? That's not a good thing.

Ch. 27-20 Translation Comments

... talk of them as “this” or “that” instead of by name or title. What I didn't realize was that Hiraoka also speaks of the “Master” the same way (Scanlators are using “Chief” or “Master” interchangeably to refer to the long-haired mojo dude in Ch. 30. I prefer 'Master' because 'Chief' in English sounds like some nice peace-pipe smoking Native American). “ That person will be troubled.” I took ...
