It's no bother. I changed them all to Hiragana to remove possible confusion. 気づく is a shorter version of 気がつく. It’s no bother. I changed them all to Hiragana to remove possible confusion.

I tried it in the positive in an explanatory narrative form and it failed: (私が）気にしたのは, but that sounds uneducated and rough around the edges to me. It does appear to work in the negative though. (私が）気にしなかったのは [The reason I didn't concern myself with it was ].

I decided to cheat and changed it to hiragana. 遣う is the correct kanji in the dictionary but I feel it might be too difficult for a beginner post such as this one. Of course, for the same reason, you'll see 使う being used quite often as well. Thanks for comment.

I know that 使う is used a lot to type it, as Google shows, but 遣う is still used often enough to give it merit (just try googling 気を遣う vs. 気を使う and you'll see you still get TONS of results for the second one). It's listed in my 和英 dictionary as 遣う, at least. Would you consider putting both 漢字 in your example? Isn’t another very common 漢字 for 気をtsukau 遣う and not just 使う?
