I agree. It's not like it's that difficult to tell the difference either. "No mom/dad, that is not fucking Japanese, there is no Hiragana nor Katakana WOULD YOU PEOPLE PLEASE PICK THIS UP BEFORE I GO CRAZY?!" <- every time I'm asked to ID some "Asian" writing. >T

I dunno, I can forgive that pretty easily if they haven't really studied either language. I've studied Japanese and I still blink at sudden Chinese and take a few seconds to try reading it before smacking myself. Someone who hasn't studied and doesn't care...yeah, I can forgive the mistake.

Maybe if they couldn't tell Korean or Thai from anything else, but short bits of Chinese and Japanese, especially technobabble or official writing-heavy Japanese, can look pretty similar to the untrained eye.

Most people I've run into can't tell the difference. It's always been obvious to me, even before I learned anything about either language, but it seems most people just register "unintelligible" and then glaze over. I used to have an ongoing argument with my mom that would go something like:
"I think this is [Chinese/Japanese]"
"They use the same writing."
"Chinese seems denser, and Japanese usually has some 'lighter' characters." (I had no idea then what Hiragana or Katakana were)
"It's the same writing."

(I agree that if people stopped and looked, most could see the difference. Buuut not many people do that.)

And how exactly do you expect a person who hasn't studied either language to be able to differentiate kana from hanzi?

[oflittlebrain.livejournal.com]

Seriously, this just seems like an asshole thing to do.

For real. Some people aren't as good as picking out the differences. Sure, there are people who are good at telling things like that, but when they're not side-by-side... it seems like a tall order to expect people to just know.
