…you spot one of your leech words out in the wild, find that you are able to actually read it, finally - but are then momentarily confused as to why a little green box didn’t float into your vision from below.

lol. The though have crossed my mind. It’s insane behaviour, when you think about it.
Sadly I don’t have a desk. At my job, if one person slacks off the whole team suffers, so I can’t just take a 15 min break whenever I feel like. I can do whatever I want during lunch, but if you’re power-leveling waiting until lunch is not an option.

Yeah and neither one is entirely right because 虫 includes things like snails. For a while I thought バグ was a synonym, but that loanword is apparently just for computer bugs. 虫 are just 虫 to me now.
