It's not like writing vertically compared to horizontally is that big of a change to undertake. And despite Japanese being traditionally vertical, I find myself reading things way more often horizontally (and the percentage would be even higher for beginners, where they wouldn't be reading newspapers, but rather signs, menus, magazines, etc)


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
