如果我没错的话，katakan
是专门用于外来词，a me ri ka本身不是日文，
所以a me ri ka 才会用katakana。

下次请用中文发表吧。

p/s: 你不是天才x２ meh？

sorry, i thought this is the only board where english is allowed.

That means, katakana is only used for words which are borrowed? But then, is there anything wrong if i spell it using hiragana?.

Not really...佳礼无论什么分坛都鼓励用中文发表。

古时候，「カタカナ」是男生用语而女生则是「ひらがな」。现在「カタカナ」就比较偏向音译外来词，又或者用于强调方面，类似英语的大写。如果你用「ひらがな」来代替「カタカナ」，基本上在于沟通方面并没有什么对错之分，可是如果用于文章就很“凸现”你的日语程度
