I'm getting confused with my と and my という again. I want to say:
Writing "A" sounds good but writing "B" sounds bad.
My attempt is:
「A」という書くのはいいそうけど、「B」という書くのは悪いそうです。
My main concern is how to join the phrase「A」to the 書く verb, but comments on how I've mangled the rest of the sentence would also be appreciated. Thanks
As far as grammar, the following is the main difference:
「～～と」 must be followed by a verb phrase. When it is not, the verb has intentionally been left unmentioned.
[手紙]{てがみ}に、「[好]{す}きです」と[書]{か}いた。(書いた is a verb.)
「～～という」 must be followed by a noun or a form of nominalization.
「こんにちは」というあいさつは、[夜]{よる}にはしません。(あいさつ is a noun)
With this basic knowledge, let us take a look at your sentence.
「A」という書くのはいいそうけど、「B」という書くのは[悪]{わる}いそうです。
Among the few mistakes contained (sorry but gotta be honest), the most serious one is the 「A」という書く part. You cannot say that as 書く is a verb.
You can say 「A」と書く or 「A」という[文]{ぶん} or 「A」というフレーズ. You need a noun to follow 「A」という.
(Of course, you can say 「A」という文を書く as you already have a noun following 「A」という. Are you following me? No pun.)
*****You might opt not to read further in order to concentrate on your more immediate question. I am just pointing out the following because I can't pretend to not notice mistakes.
You cannot say 「いいそうけど」, or more precisely, 「そうけど」. You must say 「そうだけど」, 「そうですけど」, etc.
「B」という書く is also naturally incorrect. (Explained above)
「[悪]{わる}い」 is not the best or most natural word choice here because it sounds too direct for the Japanese taste. We would use 「よくない」 or 「[間違]{まちが}っている」 instead.
Examples of correct sentences:
「A」と書くのはいいそうですが、「B」と書くのはよくないそうです。
Notice I used 「が」 instead of 「けど」. Using 「けど」 is 100% grammatical but it sounds too childish (or informal).
「A」という文は[正]{ただ}しいそうですが、「B」という文は間違っているそうです。
