	See [~~[Talk~~:~~Suzumiya Haruhi:Volume2 Chapter1~~#~~Autumn_is_represented_by_the_plum_blossom_revisited\|below]~~].		In Japanese poetry, plum blossoms traditionally represent Spring, not Autumn. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ume#Cultural_significance here] for more information.

			I think it might just a minor mistranslation of that portion. I took a look at Strato's version to see how he translated it, and he interpreted it as:

			''"Real ghosts in a haunted house, stairs where the number of steps suddenly increase, the seven wonders of the school turn into thirteen wonders, the principal's hair tripling in size into an afro, the school building transforms and fights with some monster that comes out of the ocean, or plum becoming a seasonal word for fall. That kind of stuff"''

			(''Note: Japanese poetry has groups of words linked to each season. Plum is linked to the season of spring.'')

			Strato's translation seems to make sense, as all of the examples that Haruhi lists involve changes, and that seems to be what she most craves.

	As there might be some problem regarding the acceptance of the rewording, I only reworded the first two paragraphs. Now it doesn't sound so much like vomit from a translator program. If you think that the translation is now off as a consequence, then revert it back to the previous version and I won't do it again lol. Honestly, it just didn't seem to flow right.

			Reworded and cleaned up the next three paragraphs. It still conveys the original idea so I hope there's no issues.
