E.G. いいじゃない！ (isn't it OK? [implied: of course it is!]) Only 13 more in season 1!

People get so used to typing something and having the hanzi (kanji) come up automatically, which means that they lose the ability to write (with a pen). I say good riddance actually, computers are more convenient! The only problem is that most exams are done on paper, so being able to write Kanji/Hanzi with a pen is still necessary if only for that reason. A strange place to be in though: a skill which isn't used in the modern computer world is essential for completing exams. I thought exams were meant to measure your ability, not require you to learn completely new ones. 俺は手紙全然書かない。コンピュータで書く意外、何も書けない。実はペンを使えられなくなって来たかも知れない。

I used to have some pen pal friends in my high school time, but I rarely write letters nowadays. The interesting is that a friend of mine moved to another city and as she didn't have a computer at the time, she wrote me a letter. That was such a nice surprise when I came home and found a written letter for me. In that case, I decided to do the same and sent her a letter through the post office. It may have been a bit old fashioned, but really nice... :cool: Sites about free love letters was new for me.
