Tyottomattekudasaimasenka?  Us Japanese and Spanish speaking folks can.
(Well, my Japanese is horrible but it's hard to practise with no Japanese
speakers about.)  Please don't assume that all Americans know is English.
I don't know of any language that has more various shades of formality than
Japanese, so I can grasp the concept quite well.

I still stand as before.  In any case, this can all be obtained easily by
changing the search list and doesn't require any odd configuration

files/stock/informal/de.
