Some calligraphists take stroke order very seriously, and will probably explode if they see someone writing a Kanji with incorrect stroke order.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;One might phrase this &amp;quot;Stroke order is assigned by convention in Japanese; deviating from the conventional order is incorrect, much laik hau Einglish speling iz nat ap four eendevizyuelle tyoise.&amp;quot;  (&amp;quot;What&amp;#x27;s the matter?
