Please.

I've never seen a Japanese native write こんにちは as 今日は.

Indeed. Getting my wires cross here at work.

Proof that one should not just auto accept the auto-kanji.

Why は instead of わ? Isn't it spelled 'KonnichiWa' not 'KonnichiHa'?

You don't perfectly pronounce the way it is in Japanese. Especially the topic marker, -wa. It MUST be -ha in writings.

May as well ask why 'ph' is pronounced like 'f', and not 'pu-h'.

As komitsuiki said, は is pronounced 'わ' when being used as a particle.

Just like へ is pronounced 'え' when used as a particle.

So only when writing, not when speaking.

I haven't been this confused since I started learning Japanese..:confused:
