    子に痴話!

    Welcome! So, uh. Lesson number one: be careful when using an IME, because the first suggested kanji is often not the one you want to use. What you just wrote was “sweet nothings to a child”. =P こんにちは is usually written in hiragana anyway.

    Which leads us to lesson two: it’s spelt こんにちは. If you’re using romaji-based entry, you’ve gotta be careful when ん appears next to a な-line or あ-line character – if you type “konnichi” you’re going to get こんいち. You gotta write “kon’nichi” or “konnnichi” (yes, that’s three Ns). Think what you wrote was “konichi” anyway. And it’s は rather than わ, though you’ll learn why in a bit.

    But yeah, enjoy your stay. =)

    oh my. well that certainly did change considerably. honestly hadnt intended to have it even turn to kanji, but i would have spelled it incorrectly anyways as you correctly guessed. i was unaware of the second “N”   luckily my spelling in Japanese is already as good as my English spelling

    also i probably jumped the gun a bit since im not sure ive even seen it spelled in romaji that i can distinctly remember…

    but that is pretty funny… “sweet nothings to a child”

     

    thank you kind sir!
