I apologize if I offended anyone with my abbreviation of Japanese. It was, quite honestly, not my intention. I am quite shocked that it was considered offensive. Just for my edification, are all abbreviations offensive?

 

Don´t sweat it.

It´s funny the people who are most vocal about little things like that (the word 'Jap', black people in RE5, etc..) are white people..a few Japanese friends I met here in the U.S. told me they really don´t even mind the abbreviation.

In a lot of these cases, the people who would theoretically be really offended don´t even mind, while the people who theoretically have nothing to do with that are the ones making a mountain out of a molehill.
