I've always had a question about an issue that I've never wanted to ask anyone about, partly becuase I feel it's a stupid question. I guess someone might get offended by the nature of the question or because its stupid but anyway... maybe you guys care. Although many people use the word "Jew" instead of using Jewish, isn't it wrong to use that word? I mean, even if lots of people are using it, I just feel it's not proper. I really don't have any other way to justify it besides the fact that it sounds too much like "Jap" which is something I would never ever call anyone. I don't know much about the issue, and I just wish someone would enlighten me, particularly someone who has studied this somehow. When I write all my papers I always say Jewish instead of "Jew. All I am wondering is whether people get offended when you call them a "Jew" and if there is a differnce between Jewish and "Jew".

On a side note, this little bird just flew into the place I'm eating at and I threw a little bit of my chow mein on the floor and the little bird put all the little strings in its mouth before I could snap a pic of him on my phone. And right now it came back looking for more, but I was too late and he ditched my chow mein offerings for the crumbs on a vacant table :(
