Now Out: 25 Essay Revisions and 6 New-Monics

I previously announced that because a key person on the Joy o' Kanji team lost a loved one and needed time to grieve and work through a mountain of paperwork, I would not publish anything new for a few weeks. Instead, I've been revising older essays. I also said in the last newsletter that I thought I would have something new to post by June 11. Well, not so fast. Now I have my sights set on June 18, and even that date may be too early. In the meantime, I have 25 revisions to offer:

• essay 1069 on 涯 (outer limits; horizon; edge; shore)
• essay 1072 on 概 (approximation; outline; general)
