「彼には子供が六人います」は「彼に関しては、『子供が六人いる』と言う事実があります。」なので、その主語は“彼”です。『子供が六人いる』だけに注目すれば、この文の主語は“子供”です。「彼には秘密があります」の主語も“彼”です。もし「秘密があります」だけの文であれば、“秘密”が主語になります。 — Sonny365 TANAKA 3 hours ago

おかしいでしょ！

@Flaw Here in America we have something called vanity sizing :-)

Basically, as our population grows in size, the average for each clothing size increases too. So our women's size 0 today is larger than a size 8 was fifty years ago.

Over time, it gets harder for smaller people to find clothing that fits.

I'm tall (a giant by Japanese standards – 180cm) but I'm below average weight, so I figured the odds of getting a t-shirt from SE that fit well were pretty low to begin with, so I didn't worry too much about it.

They do "unisex" t-shirts, which are really men's shirts, so they end up very loose around the waist and look silly on me anyway.

So I just get a big one (I got a medium) and I can wear it when I do the laundry :-)
