Kanji for さようなら
I know that nowadays 「さようなら」 is often written in hiragana. But I was wondering, what is the correct form for it in kanji? I have found there to be two forms:
「然様なら」
「左様なら」
1) What is the difference between them?
2) Which would you use if you had to write it in Kanji?
3) Is there any particular situation/reason it would be best to use Kanji? Or do you ALWAYS use hiragana, and hiragana only?

すき and topic/subject marker
Hello all!
From what I have learned, "to like" in Japanese (すき) is always used with the particle が (never with the topic marker は). For example:
「すしが すき です。」
My question is, is this ALWAYS the case, and the topic marker (は) can never be used? If I say:
「すしは すき です。」
1. Would it be wrong?
2. Even if it is wrong, would it be understood?
3. If it is not wrong, what does this sound like to the native Japanese ear?
Thanks in advance!
