on a slightly different topic the use of kanji where it is no common to be written in hiragana, i tend to think if the kanji is in the 常用漢字 list then it's use should be encouraged. i've had some young Japanese tell me that i shouldn't use kanji for 未だ、彼処 etc because it is not common with younger Japanese. I guess i'm just someone that loves kanji. i just feel it is strange to have a list of kanji for use in Japanese and then not use them in some of their most common uses. I can understand not using 迚も since that is not a 常用漢字 but not those examples i gave.
This I can agree with. Especially with relatively simple kanji, why not use them?
