Cultural Agency language survey sparks debate over Japanese usage

Original: なるはやで

A Japanese government language survey has found that around 70% of people still handwrite in daily life, and that the meanings of words like 'funpan' (absurd) and 'nagare ni sao' (going along with the flow) are shifting. Separate discussion is circulating about workplace honorifics, such as whether to attach 'san' to a section chief's title. The rapid-rise term 'naru-haya de' (as soon as possible) is drawing attention alongside these findings on changing Japanese language habits.

Why now: The Cultural Affairs Agency's national language survey results were just released, prompting widespread discussion about evolving Japanese usage.
