"Don't blame JET for Japan's poor English" http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20100907ad.html

Interesting note, the guy who wrote this (Debito Andou) is an American who became naturalized in Japan, changed his name to a Japanese one, and has been lighting fires about foreigners' rights in Japan for years. He's controversial and kind of bonkers, but occasionally has quite enlightening things to say (and he isn't afraid to say them).
