LOL!!! I'd started to wonder whether "bokeh" had been Anglicized to the point that those of us outside of Japan are using a term that actually is seldom, if ever, used inside Japan.

I'm starting to think that "bokeh" is to Japan as "fajita" is to Mexico.

I've been just wondering what "bokeh" means.  Warren, is that the
Japanese word meaning "out-of-focus blur"!? (I was also looking for
the English word for this!)
