Let's make the following three substitutions in your passage above:

- "katakana" -> "lowercase letters"
- "hiragana" -> "uppercase letters"
- "syllabaries" -> "alphabets"

We have just asserted that English is written with two different alphabetic
scripts.

Deny this, and you deny your assertion above; defend that, and you are also
saying that English uses two alphabets.
