Comments: | Removed [uk]. What is our official cutoff for [uk] by the way? This is very close to a 50/50 split, so probably not controversial to remove here (encountered myself in song lyrics with kanji). But it now occurs to me that I've been treating it as 50%, and that has always appeared to me to be the practice here. I've never participated in a discussion on this question, but it seems like [uk] should imply kana-only should be well above 50%. "Usually" seems quite a bit stronger to me than "more often than not". Or, phrased differently, it seems like if you are highly likely to encounter the kanji form, and if you wouldn't look odd using the kanji form, then [uk] might be misleading. Incidentally (reading earlier comments), this was also a "star studded sky"-type context. ==== I googled "what percent is usually". Google returns: https://grammar.reverso.net/frequency/ always 100 percent of the time (or almost 100%). usually about 80 percent of the time. <----- 80%, seems close to my intuition often more than half of the time. sometimes less than half of the time. rarely about 20 percent of the time. never at no time. Whatever our intentions might be, or might have been, it seems reasonable to expect that an average reader who sees "usually kana" on a term is going to expect something in the 80%+ range, not 50.01%+. |
