Imuri is trying to kill me.

[snarp]

I do not ordinarily mind when fantasy and sci-fi works make up words. I don't even have a problem with it when they make up a lot of words. When a new made-up word is introduced every page. When they make up so many they need a glossary. When some of these words relate to a complex caste system, and characters make constant references to one another's castes in casual conversation. When the publisher decides that the glossary is not sufficient and also includes some diagrams and a little removable card.

That's fine. But I'd just rather there was no kanji involved.

(I've actually fed some of this stuff into my daily flashcards.)
