If this were true and romaji is wrong and weird, why do Japanese cultural societies here in the states use the romaji-using Japanese learning books? Why would there be a romaji book business at all? I use it in my classes at the Japan American Society of Chicago and it has helped me quite a bit. Though I'm weening my way out of the system completely, it is a "first step" approach to the language that seems to work for quite a few people.
