@TerminalAutism @ryo @Misato they say that the most difficult writing system is Thai one, but at least it is a single writing system, because on top of borrowing funny pictures from China Japanese invented not one, but TWO syllabaries on top of that :cry_konata:
people say that it is due to "continuity" issues but here you go, @ryo outright says that kanji go obsolete right and left, and get simplified, and all that, and it results to people not reading because Fuck That or simply being unable to, because granny used to this particular chinese picture meaning something completely different or being nonsense
also just for the note, trying to read kanji gave my SO a seizure once, "Japan hates epileptics" joke strikes again
I am just beginning to understand *some* kanji, but then my brain forgets how "ta" is in kana and this is literally a part of my username
