までに is just まで plus に. As in, the point in time (に) that’s up until (まで) May.
In season 7, Koichi uses “歩いてみましたが足が弱よわすぎでした” as an example. Why did he use the ます stem, as opposed to the actual verb? Why isn’t it 歩いてみましたが足が弱よわすぎました? Thanks… I feel so stupid, because I know I should know this, otherwise it wouldn’t of been there.
A typo, I suspect. If it’s actually written as 弱よわ (and that’s not some sort of copy-paste artefact), I’d even strongly suspect. Which page is it on?
not the question he was asking
No, the question was “why’s it すぎでした instead of すぎました”, which I answered: a typo, I suspect.

Oops, yeah it’s from the copy and paste. It was furigana above the kanji. The page is: http://www.textfugu.com/season-7/but/4-4/#top
The reason the よわ was there in my example was because I just re-pasted and edited the ending. :/ My bad.

Well, I was thinking it was a typo, but the audio also says でした…

There just happens to be a typo. Which is what I thought you were referring to. 〇弱わ not ×弱よわい
Since there wasn’t an adequate answer, the reason is because most times, things with すぎる is commonly changed into a (descriptive) noun by making it in the ますstem form.

Let me illustrate with a real life example:[4/2/2013 10:39:06 PM] Friend: しかもテレビに映ってたのＡＫＢじゃないし。若い姉ちゃんが歌って踊ってると「えーけーびー」らしいよ…

Why is it like that? I couldn’t tell you.
A descriptive noun… kind of how like 青空 means blue sky? It’s a noun, but it also has a descriptive feature. In the conversation you had with your friend, why did he or she just say “詳しすぎ” about the world of show business? It’s not an い-adjective, so you can’t just drop です or だ like that, unless it’s a question. Sorry if I’m asking too many questions; I just can’t find where Koichi went over this. In fact, I don’t think he did. :(
Scroll down to ～すぎる – everything is explained there.
Thanks!
Regarding this sentence: “バットマンからだったんですね”;
what’s with the ん after だった? I understand だった, but not sure what the ん does.
Makes it more friendly. Or explanatory.
I was wondering about the differences between these three kanji:
少女(しょうじょ) I’ve also seen this read おとめ
乙女(おとめ)
女の子(おんあのこ）
All of them seem to vaguely mean ‘young woman’ or ‘girl’, but I’m having a difficult time figuring out the differences in usage and connotation.
I would guess that they can all be used interchangeably.
However, I think that 少女 is used to refer to young girls collectively as a demographic (ie young girls’ magazine, young girls’ television program).
I’ve never heard 乙女 used. (That’s not to say that it’s not common, I’ve just not heard it.)
I would say that, for referring to a specific girl, or group of girls, 女の子（おんなのこ） or 女子（じょし） are your best bets. -
