It's KANJI not **KANJIS**

#1
JUST STOP PLEASE.
#2
Don't you have more important things to worry about?

This reminds me of a funny story: I once gave some fruits to my sheeps and all day long they shits everywhere. So I stopped feeding them fruits. I started feeding my fruits to peoples they got very happy. But there tooths started to rot so I decided to feed them some fishs and mouses.

What happened to the fishes and mice? And where did the fruit come from? And why am I bothering analyzing a story that spans only 3 sentences? =_=
#5
This annoys me greatly too, "Kanjis" sounds horrible and unnatural. I suggest an immediate ban for anyone who uses it Tongue

wouldn't it just be shit, since it's a verb and not the plural of shit?

So wait, you're complaining how to use the romanized version of a Chinese word. It's ROMAJI not romanji. Everyone knows ROMAJI is capitalized.

Signed,

漢字たち。

Seriously (or not), I have a hard enough time keeping English words like "they're", "their", "there", "hear", "here", "it's", "its" straight without worrying about what the grammar committee decided to be the rules for loan word.

So wait, what's the correct word when you turn Kana into Kanji: is it called Kanjify or Kanjying?

I like 'shat' better.

Roger that.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to read some mangas.

Nah, you can add 's', it just grammatically incorrect in the example. ex. You sit, she sits, they sit
#11
It's kanjii (pronounced kanj-eye), since it's a latin root duh.
#12
No, actually, kanji is the plural form of kanjus.

Ex:

Man, I was so busy today, I only had time to study one kanjus.

Guess a few people didnt get that I was doing grammaticaly incorrect plurals...

Or we did, and pointed out that 'shits' is a verb in that sentence, and is thus inconsistent with the rest of the joke. 'Shit' or 'shat' would be correct (although I think using 'shit' as past tense sounds odd).

Sorry mate, dictionary.com clearly states that kanjis is an accepted plural form of kanji.

Well it was worth a try! Found it hard to think of incorrect plurals!
