tammaiya*giggling helplessly*
In phonetics & phonology. This example HAS to be shared.
"Clark Kent and Superman always show up in complementary distribution. When Clark is in the office, Superman is not seen anywhere. When Superman is there, Clark is always absent. AND they look similar. People therefore always suspect they are the same person."
Meanwhile, I got my gloves back, which is the difference between losing them in a Japanese lecture and losing them anywhere else. I got my draft sakubun edited and have written up a final copy, which took about an hour (two things I'm not certain about. Does anybody know whether it's [place] に止まる or で止まる? And [place] で観光しをする is wrong, isn't it? Should I say 観光をする？ [place]を観光しに行く？). I am exceptionally stressed about my law assessment, one paper and one oral, both of which are in a week and a half and I'm in Sydney the weekend before. AAAARGH.
On a brighter note: Mari, have you listened to ミントのどきどき作戦? Could not stop LAUGHING. Especially at Chester's impersonation of Cless and Mint ラブラブ. Hee.
... I'm hungry.

I'm guessing に止まる would be if you know exactly where you'd be stopping, like in a specific area or lot, where as で止まる would be more general? I have no idea. Those are just my thoughts on it...

Also, what do you think about に vs で with 止まる? I'm leaning towards ポート・アーサーに観光しに行く, also.
