| Introduction | I am a Japanese native speaker condemned to perish in a God-forsaken, Lucifer-cherished town in Japan. In my excruciatingly miserable early sixties, I call myself OED Loves Me Not. The name derives from the name of the famous Oxford English Dictionary. Ever since I was 25, I have been head over heels in love with the OED, but She loves me *not* (ie She does not love me). Hence my nickname. (1) I have my own YouTube channel. My videos are either in Japanese, English, or French.
