Pet peeve number 10²³: People who say Japanese is difficult because it has 3 different sets of characters.
It might surprise some, but every language using the Latin alphabet has 4 sets of characters: lowercase block, uppercase block, lowercase cursive, uppercase cursive.
(To be clear: Japanese IS difficult. But not for that reason!)
