Why I Hate My Japanese Textbook:

An exerpt from Japanese For Busy People:

"gojikan gurai"
Do not confuse with "goji gurai" which expresses an approximate specific time."

It took me 15 minutes to figure out they meant the difference between
"about 5 hours long" and "about 5 o'clock."

C'mon, "an approximate specific time?" How the hell can a language textbook company have not one editor on staff who could catch that? Bunch of stupid bastards.

I mean "aitsu-ra, bakamono-tachi."
