I guess I would qualify as a non-native not-quite-speaker.

I don't know about "old" feeling, but as someone who has dabbled in
learning the Japanese language (much as I've dabbled in learning Scheme),
I found "minituku" a bit strange.  Every resource I've found for English
speaking people learning Japanese has stressed "tsu", not "tu".  On the
other hand, I'm not sure it's really all that big a deal which one is
used "officially" for this site, in the grand scheme of things.
