Something like that, but it made a sound, kind of like kokuji～

As far as I'm concerned the hardest kanji aren't the big fun compounds like 鬱 but the simpler buggers with weird constructions like 飛

I hate the trap ones. You know, the ones that look similar but are different.

[Chao !!eFZ1anCCqZ2 No.]

For me, it's also not the larger compounds. I rather enjoy kanji such as 議 especially because you get to write 我. When I found out 我 was not the common kanji for the first person pronoun in Japanese I was very disappoint.
What I truly hate are the kanji that remind you that at least ONE of the scholars on each mission to China in classical times was drunk off his ass while taking notes. That is, kanji which are written with some small orthographic difference from the Chinese counterpart, or perhaps have their meaning swapped with another, clearly an accident but one that was never rectified.

OH AND HOW COULD I FORGET 凸凹 ??
FUCKING PUZZLE KANJI!

Because you can't write this in one stroke.

In his defense, it doesn't look like the stereotypical asian ideogram. Even if they make PERFECT sense for their meanings, they still have the "wtf" flag in my mind.

In this thread, people complain about the language they wanted to learn.

雲=云
龍=龙
鬱=郁
議=议
And finally...
飛
BECOMES
飞!!!!!
Is simplified superior or is simplified the only superior aspect of 中国?

[Chao !!eFZ1anCCqZ2 No.]

>>3567515
I learned traditional initially, and so I came to appreciate some of the ideogram-based meanings behind the early characters I learned, but from a functional standpoint, simplified is awesome.

English has just as much stupid shit, if not more, and I complain about that too. Hangul is the most logical writing system I've yet encountered and will be until it evolves more nuances through centuries of use. In before Japan haet Corea.

Enjoy your homophones.

[Chao !!eFZ1anCCqZ2 No.]

I'm not familiar with Korean at all so if you're referring to that, please enlighten me I'm a bit ignorant on it other than the grammar being similar to Japanese.
As for Japanese, yes, the ambiguity caused by having a syllabic language is fucking fail beyond all belief. Worse is the huge gap between the written and spoken forms of the language. In English if you speak like a newspaper or scholarly essay you might come off like a pretentious intellectual faggot but at least people will understand you.

Just trying to throw an illustration out there. Perhaps it was a bad one in retrospect because most newspapers in America are written to a 7th or 8th grade level. Even the NYTimes or WSJ is barely written for a high school reading level...
So I submit to the error in my example and request you focus on the comparison with regards to scholarly journals.

Even the NYTimes or WSJ is barely written for a high school reading level... either way, it's definitely not the case in Japan.
