I've struggled with knowing when to use kanji and when not to. In this case, it felt "right" to use kana and not kanji. Do you think it's because writing 是非 just feels
so Chinese because it's a quite short word, both sounds come from Chinese (shi4fei1; not sure what the pronunciation used to be centuries ago when the sounds were taken from Chinese, but I'd guess "shihei" or something), and because we're using kanji for it. It just doesn't feel "right" with kanji.
But I can't explain why. :/
