Translating Japanese is hard

I'll repeat my previous grievance: These people have three perfectly good alphabets to work with, but they still cling to this incomprehensible Chinese-derived character system. It takes a good fifteen minutes for me to derive a single word, and then i kick myself because i totally knew that word if it had been written in a system people can actually understand

if it makes you feel any better...most of the japanese have problems with it also. 

I had heard about the PM two PMs ago (Taro Aso i believe, before Hatoyama who was before Kan, or maybe that was three PMs ago for Fukuda, forget), that they would have to stop cabinet meetings occasionally to make sure he could read what was on the briefs and documents

though that could have been an exaggeration perpetuated by his foes
