Digital BW, The Print

Hi Andrew,

I don't have any input regarding your problem but I am bothered by your
reference to "Jap" as an abbreviation.

In the USA "Jap" is an extremely derogatory and hurtful term. "Japan" or
"Jpn" can be used instead.

I'm sure there was no negative intent.

Thanks,

Rick Murai
