I didn’t know “baru” is now “baharu” — that pisses me off. I always thought of “baharu” as the anachronism when I was in school. I also thought it was “menunjukkan,” with two k’s. Oh, and I can’t have been the only student to have been pissed off by the ever-changing spelling of keretapi/kereta api.

Also, I wonder what it says about us that we used to spell “Isnin” as “Ithnin”… :p
