Hello!
This is my first post, and would be the start of my journey finding the truth behind a language. It is one of my mission to achieve and spread 'sprachgefuhl' , my favorite word, to the world!

Kith and 'kind' - When I encountered this word reading the Wapro, I scratched my head, since there is probably something incorrect. And when I consulted my dictionary, it was apparently spot on. It is actually kith and kin.

According to dictionary.com:

Kith and kin (plural):

Acquaintances and relatives.

Heya, nice to meet you all. This blog will become my recollection of editing, proofreading, translation, grammar-pondering, vocabularies and anything related to languages (especially English, Japanese, Bahasa Indonesia and Javanese). When I find anything interesting, misleading, misspeling, or just cultural differences, I'll post here.
All my posts are intended for educational purpose, research, or just for fun. I apologize beforehand if any one of you feel offended.
Anyway, my plan is to master Japanese to near-native level similar to my English (English is my 2nd language besides Bahasa Indonesia and Javanese).
