			== Seiza? ==

			I recently noticed that this sentence:

			"''I followed Nagato's example and sat with my knees bent, but I couldn't take it after three minutes, and had to release my legs. Haruhi sat with her legs crossed since the beginning and whispered into Tsuruya-san's ear.''"

			Had been changed to:

			"''I followed the example of Nagato next to me and sat in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/seiza traditional style], but I couldn't take it after three minutes, and had to release my legs. Haruhi sat with her legs crossed from the beginning and whispered into Tsuruya-san's ear.''"

			And I was wondering if Seiza position was actually mentioned in the original novel.

			Thanks,

	I don't get this metaphor. It would seem that Tsuruya should be the titanium alloy relative to the boys being mere plastic, or at least Tsuruya should be a high-tech carbon fiber composite - but that doesn't fit with the firework to spacecraft level difference.

	Hopefully, someone will be able to answer this. Towards the end of Volume 2 Chapter 4, Kyon in his own narration says, "A smile formed on Koizumi's mouth; it looked like a ''self-depreciating'' smile." I was not sure whether ''self-depreciating'' was intended to be used here, because ''self-deprecating'' seems like a better fit. Also, it may just be a typo, since the difference between the two words is one letter, ''i''. I have not changed anything in this chapter, but if it is a mistake, then we should edit to the correct word.		Hopefully, someone will be able to answer this.

			henchmen is probably closer, but I think minion better describes the postion of Miruku and Kyon. They don't have a lot of choice in the matter.

			While it is absolutly wrong, I also like Murmidion. I use Suzumiya Murmidian as my title in a couple of newsgroups.
