How do I keep myself entertained while learning the Kanji? - yudantaiteki - 2011-03-21

A good number of particles don't have kanji (assuming you're not counting man'yogana), and there are a small number of other words that don't -- です is one that comes to mind. There's also ぞんざい and many of the gitaigo/giongo words as well.

yea they do
wow me and LM have an almost opposite perspective of the language. Before I started the grammar and sentences recently, I thought that kanji were a lot more common, but I see a lot of kana substitution even for words that often written with the kanji. (especially in manga)

haha, yeah, i'm finding the same thing reading beginner level manga (kids books like yotsuba, etc). wish they would just use the kanji + furigana - at least then i can pick out the sentence structure at first glance instead of making me look at it 5 times before i figure it out. plus looking things up is so much easier when you have kanji and furigana...

also, i like seeing horse-deer every time somebody does something stupid...
