Something bugs me.

Why Japanese lang STILL USES Han characters ("kanji")? They made sense in Chinese, but Chinese* is as dead as Latin. And Japanese isn't even a Sinitic language!

(* yes, Chinese is dead - before argue with me, Mandarin is NOT Chinese, as Italian is NOT Latin.)

Wasn't just stiking to hiragana or hiragana+katakana? Han+Japanese doesn't make fucking sense.
