  1. I don't eat at my computer and you can help me justify my position:

     

    For those of you who regularly eat at your computer: take your keyboard (if it's an individual peripheral), hold it over your head while still keeping it level, look up at it (you should see the bottom).

     

    Now turn it over; you should be looking directly at the keys now.

     

    Case in point.

     

    Did that. what am I looking for? Nothing happened. :(

  2. Edit: No need for hostility Jexius-shi (Tell me if I'm doin it wrong.)

     

    I don't claim to know too much about honorifics, but I would settle for a Jexius-san to be safe.

     

    Shi (氏 【し】?) is used in formal writing, and sometimes in very formal speech, for referring to a person who is unfamiliar to the speaker, typically a person known through publications whom the speaker has never actually met. For example, the shi title is common in the speech of newsreaders. It is preferred in legal documents, academic journals, and certain other formal written styles. Once a person's name has been used with shi, the person can be referred to with shi alone, without the name, as long as there is only one person being referred to.

     

    While he is someone you've never met in person and are probably unfamiliar with, I wouldn't necessarily call this formal speech/writing.

     

    IDK. I could be horribly wrong and insulting him for all I know. Damn honorifics confuse the hell out of me.
