Basically what we're saying is that using ro-maji will not help you in the long run, and highly recommend that you install Japanese, and use kana and maybe some simple kanji.
Ro-maji will also affect your pronunciation (just think of how Americans say words like karaoke (kerioki), kamikaze (kamakazi), To(u)kyo(u) (Toki-o)...). Ii desu ka? It is just better to learn "real" Japanese, you know what I'm saying? |

Sou desu yo. Hiragana to katakana to kanji o tsukawanakereba, zenbu wasurechau yo.
(Yes - if you don't use hiragana and katakana and kanji, you'll forget all of it.) |

I am merely a beginner, but I don't see how using roumaji will affect his pronounciation so long as he keeps is mind 'i' sounds like "ee", "a" sounds like "ah", and so on. kyatto, thanks for the reply. I think I got the overall idea of what you were trying to say. However, as it has been pointed out that roumaji chat is not productive enough for learning japanese, we'll continue it on some other occasion with kanji where I'll most likely not understand.

It's hilarious how everyone keeps going on and on in romaji about why going on and on in romaji is such a bad idea.

I was talking about the people who are advanced and keep saying that romaji is awful but continue to participate in the discussion using romaji, not the beginners.
