Cawaii? K, what happened?

I don't have a craft project today, just something new I learned.

Did you know that in Japan the craze is to label cute things Cawaii instead of Kawaii? In fact, I hear that there are lots of people changing the spelling of other stuff with K into C...like Kevin would be Cevin. What do you think about that?

Well, today is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. I usually give something up like Coke or Rice but maybe I should give up asking so many questions!Hmmm....

Thanks for stopping by today and helping me ponder...Have a great week!

  4. Hi, Joy san!

    This magazine is typical example.

    Most of Japanese feel 'C' is cuter than 'K'.
    I don't know why.

    By the way, are you ready for opening new shop?
    Is Brandon working well?

    See you.
