みなさん・みんな・みんなさん
It seems like every time I log on to HelloTalk recently someone has made a post on this topic, so evidently they’re seeing this mistake a lot and it’s probably worth covering. Keep in mind that depending on the context there are other words that could be used to mean ‘everyone,’ but these are the generic words that can be used in phrases like ‘good morning everybody’
So to make this a quick overview:
みなさん which can also be written as 皆さん is the polite form of the word ‘everyone/everybody.’ If ‘everyone’ addresses a group in which you’re not familiar with many of the people then みなさん is generally the appropriate word.
みんな is the more casual way of saying みなさん this would generally be used to to address a group of people you know relatively well or that you’re not concerned about being too polite with (friends, classmates, random strangers on the internet etc)
みんなさん is the entire reason for this post. There are a good amount of learners using this word, which makes sense because when you go to Jisho or any other JMdict based dictionaries it does show up as an option. But it’s not a word that natives use. Like ever.
And that’s basically the entire point here. To say ‘everyone’ you can say みなさん or みんな but avoid みんなさん because for all intents and purposes it’s not a word.

Japanese.io: Read, Understand, Learn
Japanese.io is a free resource to improve your reading fluency in Japanese. After signing up with a Facebook or Google account, you are prompted to copy-paste a text into the website. I personally want to improve my ability to read the news, so I copy-paste news articles into the site. You could also paste in novels or short stories if you can find the Japanese text online.
Once you have pasted in the text, you can then choose to toggle on/off furigana mode. On clicking a word/kanji, an English translation comes up above the word for smooth reading.
Any word you click on will be saved into a word bank, where you can see clearly which words you have looked up the most, and remind yourself what they mean.
This site is awesome for intermediate learners. I have been using it for a while and have seen my reading fluency improve. I now also have the ability to see which words I frequently have to look up. Any consistent words that trip me up will be put into my Anki decks.
One thing I did notice whilst inputting daily news articles is how the news is fairly consistent, especially when particular stories are dominating for a few weeks at a time (Trump, North Korea etc.). This means that even if I learn specific vocabulary that is uncommon in daily life, I can read news articles at a faster pace as the vocabulary and phrases are re-used again and again. You can access the japanese.io website here.

Ginkgo
The spelling of “ginkgo” is weird, in particular that unpronounceable “kgo”. This is actually due to a big goof-up.
In Japanese and Chinese the name of the tree is written 銀杏, and the Japanese onyomi reading of these characters is ginkyō. Presumably someone misread a handwritten y as a g, and the mistake stuck.
But there is a twist. The Japanese spelling is irregular, and the word is actually read ichō. (Supposedly this is because the Japanese word derives from a Song-era Chinese word 鴨脚 for the tree, with the current characters added later.)
So someone misread the Japanese word when transcribing it, then someone else misread the transcription, and now this cavalcade of errors is forever frozen in English orthography.
