In the context of 「では、また」 , is it wrong to write 「また」 as 「又」?


If I understand correctly, 「では、また」 is basically short for 「では、又{また}会{あ}いましょう」,
in which case it's completely normal to write 「また」 as 「又」.

But is it very weird or even wrong to use the kanji in the shortened form?




There are no strict rules when to use kanji and when to use kana. So
ultimately, it is your decision.

Practically speaking, in my opinion, it is better to write it always as また.

FYI. Since the また in question is the adverb _again_ , the following is not
exactly relevant, but you may be interested. Following this recommendation,
you should use 又は to mean _or_.

has the following: (emphasis mine; also this is just a recommendation and not
strict rules to be followed.)
