Some Japanese cannot even read Kanji

To name one - Arashi's Aiba. XD XD XD

Seriously: I suppose it's possible to write Japanese with no kanji and just use hiragana instead. But I imagine it would look ridiculous to native speakers and you'd be considered illiterate?

Oh wow! I didn't know this!! (And I like Aiba the most out of all of them! ^^)

It's definitely possible, though. And if you know the hiragana, you also know how to say it. Speaking is far more necessary to survival than writing, I think! ^^ It might be considered semi-illiterate, but living in Japan and amongst Japanese people could slowly heal that, I think! ^^

Don't feel bad one bit. In the short time you have been studying, you have near expert grammar. That is a pretty unmatchable feat!!

Aiba gets his kanji wrong quite a bit. XD What was that game show they were on where they were guessing someone's hobby and instead of 'gun shooting' he read it as 'murder'..? lololol.

I've come to the conclusion that if your family name is Aiba and you're in the entertainment business, you are by default very amusing.

And thankyou for the compliments! #^ ^#

OHHHH!!! HAHAHAHAHA! Well, at least he had the gist right! xD Poor thing...I understand that feeling.....

And that's true. There are some clever Aibas out there in the entertainment business! I do wonder if there is some distant relation?

And as for compliments...what compliments!? xD I was only saying the truth! :P No really, kudos kudos!!! <333
