It's only stylistic issue if you also consider a and α (alpha) to also be just stylistic different.

I have learned to live with it, but it is very annoying.



Do you want to see all Han texts in your preferred style, or do you want to see them in the style corresponding to the language they were written in?


In the original language, of course. Why is that even a question. That is like asking if Geek people would want to read Latin script using Greek alphabet or not.

You keep using the word 'style', so you agree that α is a style of a? Then I have no more comment. It's not 'style' at all.


> Why is that even a question.

Why wouldn't it be. As I'm not a user of CJK scripts it seemed like a fair question to ask.

I didn't have a better word for it. Oddly alpha is getting different renderings in the text input box than in your comment.

So Han unification makes CJK as hard to read for you as mixing Greek and Latin scripts would for me. That's what I wanted to understand. Thanks.
