comment How to separate words in a Japanese sentence?
This raises the question: are there any good examples (preferably in modern Japanese) of sentences with ambiguous word boundaries? I.e. sentences that can be read in two different ways, depending on how you separate the words.

comment Is there some way that a Japanese (sur)name must be written for it to make sense?
@Dono Thanks for the clarification and expansion. I'd always believed that Yamada was the commonest surname! I've amended my answer accordingly.

comment Do Japanese writers use underline for emphasis?
I should point out that, even in English, most typographers consider the use of underlining to be poor style. Perhaps it’s appropriate for Randall Murphy’s minimalist style, but I would usually recommend using a thicker pen, like this: Someone is wrong on the Internet.
