they need be.  :-)  It also gives Japanese a very distinct appearance.

Oh yes...a few days ago I was in a Japanese restaurant, and I was
reading the menu... I noticed that the kanji for "stirfried" I
believe was pronounced "itame" in one, according to the furigana, and
a few entries down on the menu in another dish, it was
pronounced "iri", both kun (native) pronounciations. I wonder what
the distinction is...

Imperative
