A few errors here:

The romaji for says kochisou, should be gochisou

Dou itashimashita should be Dou itashimashite.

Also shitsurei shimasu ‘literally’ means “commit / will commit rudeness”

Hope you can incorporate the corrections. It’s a useful article!

Benja,

thank you very much for pointing out the two spelling mistakes. I immediately fixed it.
As for shitsurei shimasu, I only partially agree. means “I will commit a rudeness.”
However is past and means “I did commit a rudeness”. But in any case I will
improve the translation in the post.

Thanks again for your attentive reading.

Nicolas
