      2. @hakui @nerthos I read an article a while back that said young adults are having a hard time recalling kanji for writing because they all use mobile phones now.

              1. @nerthos politeness isn't worthless, it serves a useful purpose. Correct, non-dysfunctional politeness helps avoid embarrassment, which prevents conflicts that arise from misunderstanding.

                1. @moonman I agree. I consider it a negative side effect of said modernization.
