       so i've started to notice this more and more and its perplexing me:why do the japanese mix in so much english with their media?  as I started to watch more anime I noticed it wasn't limited to just nintendo games.  there's a LARGE chunk of english writing in anime and videogames

       @TeaTootler Yeah, you would think they would've preferred to continue to use their own native vocabulary as much as possible. But I think we're seeing a similar phenomenon to how English absorbed a large body of French loanwords during the rule of the Plantagenet dynasty over England.
