Reply to comment by AnglerJared in TIL that Chinese is written without spaces between successive characters and words. by Neither_Parking3581

You made it sound like Japanese was as difficult to read as running all your words together. And on the odd occasion you actually find all hiragana, children's books, for example, you'll find spaces to help separate words.

I find it fascinating that someone with near 20 years experience thinks they can misrepresent the facts and be surprised when people "chime in".

They didn’t say 20 years of humble learning of extremely high-context language. As apparent in that reply.

I was trying to illustrate the formatting and to show it wouldn’t be all that hard to read if we did it that was in English, either. And you can keep moving the goalposts all you want; your comment was unnecessarily pedantic and didn’t really make a rebuttal of any point you thought I was trying to make.

でも、この話を続けたいのだったら、是非日本語でお願いします。そんなに日本語が詳しい方なら、きっと大丈夫でしょう。では。
