Of course if I ever start writing a lot of Japanese I will use Microsoft IME and forget how to write everything just as you have!

IME = Input Method Editor: a preprocessor for inputing Japanese and Chinese characters for the Japanese language which comprises more than 10,000 characters, using the limited number of keys on a PC. Preprocessors called ATOK or MS IME helped us become lazy and successfully deprived us of dexterity of rendering our beautiful ideographic symbols on a sheet of white paper.
