Man, I’m all for filial observances, but them mudangs freak me out! Antti you are taking me back to the exact moment when I was 6 years old scared shitless just because I saw a mudang dressed in all-red walking towards my way on my way home from school.

I will never find out where, but I thought I remembered him saying something about his (or as I thought, her) married name. Hence my incorrect assumption.

Many apologies.

I often don’t remember how it isn’t obvious that my name is a man’s name - but what does it matter. Oh yes it does, English speakers need to choose between he and she. (Making mistakes with he and she is one common point I have with many Koreans.)

I could be wrong, but I was imagining that Antti is a woman.
