I meant to say "to hide the katakana form away" not "to the katakana form away". Seems I will never stop forgetting words grrrr

  Comments:
Is it really expedient here to the katakana form away? If it was already  four times as popular as hiragana in 2007, and makes up 16% of the usage with 1,6 million hits I don't think it is.
