I see foreign-born residents here in Nagoya all the time. There's a lot more nuance to it. I do believe Japan could do more, esp. in terms of access to services for foreign workers, but to paint it as "empirically" black & white erases every foreign worker here who is working hard to make a living.

Yes, but there's some nuance. I have an advanced degree and a tenured position, so I got permanent residence much more quickly and cheaply than most people could in the US. At the same time, the apprenticeship type positions here are usurious and abusive. And others have no chance at all.

Congratulations, Gavin. I'm really happy this came together and is coming out. お疲れ様でした!

Ooh, thanks for bringing this to my attention. May be quite useful for the arguments I'm making about second language task engagement.

Sounds intriguing and complicated at the same time!

In a way, repairs are treated as dispreferred in general because they are often kept to a minimum, and OIOR are rarely stated directly and are often accounted for. But certainly, the practices members use for dealing with each of these types can be quite different, so I need to think more :-)

That "only" is quite interesting! Without the referent being clear (pet bottles? am I reading that correctly?), the "only" doesn't do anything for monolingual English readers, but may actually help emphasize the message for Korean readers by it being so eye-catching.
