Okay yup

There is something confusing me. You said "dayo" was fine, but now you're going around and changing it to "da yo". Same with "kana". That is loosely translated as "(I) wonder" and you don't write it "won der" so you wouldn't do "ka na". It's confusing me and kinda looks picky. You should tell me to go with "da yo" instead of saying go with whatever otherwise it's gonna look weird if I go with "dayo" and "kana" and you go with "da yo" and "ka na". You get what I mean? XD

I get you want to be "accurate" but in all honesty it looks like two words when it isn't...I will glady follow your rules, don't worry, but some people have been mentioning to me lately that the weird spaces look wrong and robotic. I dunno, I get some of your edits but the "da yo" and "ka na" one is just weird.

EDIT: Sorry if sounded rude or anything. I'm just so confused, and since I was taught some other method that everyone else seems to kinda use everywhere else, this new method is just hard to get used to and it doesn't help that you don't tell me some other stuff looks at the "kana vs ka na" thing so I have to look at your edits to get what I have to do, and then I wanna know why some changes are made, etc. It's kinda how I learn - it's annoying but yeaaah sorry. Also I noticed the "na" thing and yeah I get that one. "Na" is a particle but yeah my bad, that was souly based of...what looked better. I was taught "na" should be on its own but I decided to ignore that for romaji.

I get it looks like I don't know Japanese, but trust me, I do. I've been learning it for....12 years. And maybe America teaches a different method, or you are in fact of a Japanese descent but Australia taught me something completely different when it came to romaji and now I have to twist my ways to be more American (if that is where you are from) or the official Japanese way (even though I don't think there is any, as Japanese people don't use romaji cause they don't need too...I think...even though romaji is "japanese" so maybe they do...I dunno)

EDIT 2: I'm starting to think there is no real way to do romaji and it is all personal preference. I did some research and came across sites that say "Hajimari desuka" when i would do "Hajimari desu ka". And some sites saying "dewa" when I would say "de wa" (for では) because they're particles and you wouldn't put them together. I'm starting to think it really is a matter of preference. So if it is, maybe we could try and work something out that would make us both happy instead of me being confused by some of your rules for romaji that doesn't seem right (mainly da yo and ka na to be honest.)?
