And you seem to have no idea that a large portion of the words used in English do not even come from English.
Annnd who cares if kanji are difficult for you or your GF? Fact is it works in Japan. It has worked here well over 1,000 years.
Finally, why the heck are you ignoring my remark that Japan has a virtually 100% literacy rate? If you cannot claim the same about your country, maybe it's your language that needs to be simplified, not Japanese.

Its not, but i am not bothered by it. My gf is bothered by Kanji.
Well, if it bothers my GF, question comes on how many more people are bothered by it? Its not like i am AGAINST you or kanji in particular, but there's no reason to hold on to something that is illogical and difficult and which can be replaced by japanese. Fact is that Japanese developed hiragana, and it worked well without Kanji, its only been introduced to not fall behind chinese culture and economy at the time.
That Japan has a 0 or 100% literacy rate, has got not much to do with its illogical basis. And was therefore ignored by me, not for offensive reasons, but i simply could not relate any value on it topic whise. But you might see that differently.
