2018/04/15: The first example was still broken. Reworded thing about sakubi being dead. Refer directly to Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese Grammar in the help intro.

2018/03/23: Ixrec's guide is dead. Removed it and changed some other wording in the alternative resource listings. Removed the "zoomed" page, just have javascript css links.

2017/10/20: Minor formatting changes to make the site work better on bad mobile browsers.

2017/10/18: Add a logo. Center the title stuff appropriately. If this is too big, complain about it on the thread. Explain that sakubi isn't the normal reading of 昨日 in the section on nouns. Explain honorifics in the previously short Lesson 4. Rest in peace the "so, too, must be there no ..." wording, which seems to be dialectal english.

2017/07/02: Overhauled the way the past tense is introduced. This changes lessons 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12, and moves some stuff in other lessons. These lessons got screwed up at some point, probably before making the HTML version. I might have introduced new problems in the process of fixing them. If so, please complain about it.

2017/06/28: Change wording in と trivia intermission. If you run into something that feels like a washed-up crank or a pretentious student wrote it, please complain about it.
