We were talking about the consequences of the last typhoon the other day. Somebody told me about an event cancellation:
× It was cancelled by typhoon.
○ It was cancelled because of the typhoon.
The typhoon didn't cancel the event. The organizers cancelled it. The reason that they cancelled it was the typhoon.
There's a typhoon passing Japan right now, but I don't think that anything in Tokyo is going to be cancelled. It seems that we will luckily avoid this one.
During the last typhoon, I was scheduled to be in the recording studio, and I almost cancelled the recording because of the typhoon. As it turned out, there was hardly any rain in Tokyo, and we went ahead with the recording session.
