When Japanese use Engrish=Funny. Playing a bunch of SNK games would do that to you.

Whiny, little, brats on English messageboard using Japanglish as a mean of insulting or acting cute=Pathetic

I hate sprite comics usually.

But GG has so many awesome animations that you could pull it off without it being total s**t. Kudos!

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.
True true... Using other languages is just fun, so it doesn't matter too much if people don't pronounce the words quite right.

It really is...I have a friend who is, sad to say, very much a n00b-taku when it comes to anime. And she is quick to anger. And quick to yell out insults in Japanese at people. >.>

But just going about and reading the random English they have over in Japan is a riot. On the dresser my host family had, it had a bear, and he was talking about going shopping for his breakfast. I got a sticker that said 'MR. BEAR'S DREAM- Everyone should have a dream'. On a shirt my exchange student Yumi had, it said 'IT HAS NO RULES YOU MAY DO AS YOU LIKE'. But it never said WHAT exactly it was talking about. It was great. ^_^

Well in my Japanese class, our sensei tells us we can pass notes if it's in Japanese and we can talk during class if it's in Japanese, other than that she wants silence. So for me, it's a habit of stringing the two languages together. Normally it's because I don't know the Japanese form of a word so I'll just say it in English. (Though this is just my case on it.) I do know some of the most annoying/used words to see are the swear words. A lot of people use them simply so they can get away with swearing and know one understands what they are saying. (I regret telling my mom what "baka" and "kuso" means... sweatdrop )

Ohhh, me too. I told my mom what baka meant, and now when some retard does something stupid on the road, she'll yell at them and call them a baka. It's sad, but at the same time rather funny. ^^

Japanese people that use English are intrested in American culture on a whole, most kids that use random Japanese are only intrested in one aspect of Japanese culture.
