Leckrone senior went out of his way to put out a PR that was culturally more palatable to Japenese corporations who are defendants in this case. He too was making a statement, respect and recognition of the culturally acceptable phrases for his "customers"...
You must accept the fact that some here would do the opposite of what he was trying to accomplish.
There are many words in the dictionaries that their use is deemed unacceptable in 21st century America, and one of them is JAPS. It remids us of Hiroshima and Zanzibar, and most of us would just as soon it was deleted from dictioanries, as it is in common usage.
My appologies to you perosonally, and I hope the sunject is dropped...
