but the typed font looks odd to me. And if memory serves me correct, there are different alphabets of Japanese. In my ignorance, I thought that one of them was a simplification of another.
I also did say that I didn't think it was Korean, and I didn't think that it was Mandarin Chinese...

And Tom is wrong for there is Shinjitai which is a form of simplified Japanese Kanji compared to the older Kyūjitai.
Yes China went even further in its simplified Hanzi(Han characters, Japan calls their Kanji) but that is not neither here nor there for being rude correcting somebody and say do not speak of something you do not know, and then making a similar error is kind of hubristic.
And yes this stuff is extremely complicated, and is very tied to people's identity and culture.
Also yes for I can feel the energy from the future of someone reading this. Yes, I am by no means an expert on this.
