Yeah I wish they just used katakana for everything, but at least speaking it isn't too complicated once you understand how their sentence structure works.
Wouldn't be very readable unless they added spaces too, and books/newspapers would have to be larger to fit the expanded text. You know what I mean if you've tried ever to play old games where everything is katakana because that's all they could fit on the rom at the time.
Imo they could keep a few hundred kanji for historical and syntactical reasons. In general, a native speaker should have completely mastered reading and writing by the 4th-5th grade. Any kanji that is currently taught in middle school and beyond should be dropped from the standard language.
You would lose out on a lot of context since some words just are the same. In conversation it matters not unless someone likes to be very puny, in written however I would say it would make it much harder.
No you don’t. Katakana is retarded because there are so many homonyms and Japanese has no functional punctuation and grammar structures. Kanji is critical because otherwise you’d have to read everything like 3 times.
