For example, plain text doesn't have information on typeface.
Thus, XTerm can display A-M using Roman and N-Z using Italic
and it is not wrong, though it is "dirty". However, confusing
- Latin and Greek letters
- "Morning" and "Morgen"
- Chinese and Japanese letters
are wrong.

As I said again and again, I say No. Study Japanese or Chinese,
use them as your first language, and live in Japanese or Chinese
community for long years first, if you want to direct such a thing
to native speakers. Discussions cannot change Japanese culture
or behavior of Japanese consumers.
