Very true...
Except for some reason, bad English seems funnier.

I suppose it's because it's out native language?

Quite possibly... XD I'd kind of like to see someone's reaction to that.

In fansubs there are English words stuck into there..

XD I speak a mild Engrish. XD I think it's my family's influence on me I swear! .. "earth" sounds funny to me when I keep thinking about it too much.

I stutter to easily and it's either the influence or I think I have a lisp.

XD My relatives who speak Mandarin insert English.

What's even worse is that when I'm trying to practice my Mandarin or Spanish for school... I end up mixing the two languagese so i guess it'd be... Spandarin. XP

Yeah, folks may have done that in Japan. But, I'm talking about here and other messageboard where folks want to use baka instead of idiot.

.. but what if I'm talking in Mandarin and add in English? Is there a difference?


Other than the fact that most times Japanglish is spoken mainly out of trying to be "cool."

Exactly, my point. It doesn't make you cool. At least, that is what I think.

But the Japanese insert English into sentences to be "cool", and we don't go about bashing them.

Do they really do it just to be cool? Do they do it to be cool like the n00bs in the forums?
