I can barely understand your English, for that matter.
All I'm trying to say is this: There are some Kanji that stroke order is important, but (for me) the majority, I can read despite which order it's written. Do me a favor. Draw a square, then draw a line through it. Then, on a separate piece of paper, draw a line, then draw a square around it. Do they both turn out to be 日? To me, the answer is yes. Does that mean I'm trying to prove anyone wrong? NO.
My Japanese is terrible. I can really only communicate with 10 year old Japanese kids. But I can still read 1st-3rd grade Kanji no matter the stroke order. Does that mean everyone is the exact same as me? No. Maybe you're listening to your full-blooded American "dojo" instructor too much.
Get of my back, people.
And that's all I've got to say about that.

I like people like you. First say stupid things, then instead of admitting they are wrong they start attacking others.
1_ I am sorry you don't understand my English, but unless you can speak other 2 languages at the same level I speak English as I do (not my native language), just shut up.
2_I really would love to see you speaking to a 10 year old Japanese kid. I don't know where you live, but where I come from 10 year old kids have quite a large vocabulary...and I am sure in Japan too. An adult would try to help you by using easier words and speaking slowly, a kid would just speak as he does normally, which I seriously doubt you would understand.
3_If you didn't want to prove wrong someone who knows more than you the subject, then don't keep answering back trying to keep your position. Admit you are wrong and go on.
4_Dear Ed, I don't understand why attacking my instructor since I have never mentioned it, unless it was just venting your stress due to the fact you didn't know what else to say. I was merely telling you that I have seen hand written kanji and they do look pretty different from the ones you see on computer. I don't understand how you can state that you can read the easy kanji written by whoever when you have never seen hand written kanji before.
5_If you highlighted "dojo" to show it was an error, well it was not. I write many Japanese words that are commonly used in English in the western style. Except the fact that I hate romaji, I would love to see everyone start writing Toukyou in this forum. If I wanted to write dojo the correct way I would have written どうじょう or 道場 since (maybe wrong) but I do not consider romaji an alternative way to writing Japanese words.
