I'm about to finish level 60 of WaniKani (via anki) in three weeks and I've always wondered this but never asked anyone. If I have a typo, misspelling, or leave out a space when there is one/include a space when there isn't, I mark those all correct. But, for example, the character 典 is called "rule" but I always forget and type "rules". I mark this wrong and redo it even though I know the character, words associated with it, and its meaning. Other words that are plural/singular I am similarly strict with. In addition, if I know the common definition of a word but it is not whitelisted, I will mark it wrong, (ex: 悔しい is often defined as "annoying/annoyed" but will be marked wrong if you write that). Am I just crazy? So far this method has been pretty effective, seeing as I have a ridiculously strong command over kanji vs every other part of japanese. Would love to hear other people's thoughts.
