"As with all technologies, printing presses and computers (see the next section) are ethically and morally neutral, and they can spread inaccurate and purposely untruthful information as easily as they can spread accurate and truthful information."

Finally, something I agree with.

Trigger alert!

"Japanese is represented by three writing systems." No. It's not. It's represented by four, are you unable to count? You mentioned all four in regards to Japanese not three pages ago.

"Romaji is used for the convenience of foreigners." No. NO. That is not true. That is so far from true it's astonishing. It's used for a plethora of reasons, only one of which the above is a very minor one.

And kana don't represent syllables, they represent mora.


But, no one knows what that means, so I can let that go.
