This would be a horrible thing to use... actually come to think of it not really
The English language has lots of Japanese words in it already anyway :/
...Eh, I personally don't think so...

I guarantee you there are more loan words from English to Japanese, though. Every living language is full of words from other languages, not just English.
Sayonara!
Technically a lot of those are not taken since they are simply the proper name for it, kinda like how they use SPONGEEBOBBU! it's still spongebob because it's spongebob. Though it is common to have different words for things if their language had them already, a bear might be a konkaku in Thailand (I really doubt that is true) but if a new animal is discovered it would be a "Stanley" everywhere.Pokebis wrote:

The thing is there is a difference between using loan words from Japanese to English because there is no other way to point out an object using a single word compared to using Japanese terms to replace already-existent English terms.Pokebis wrote:

For example, "Tsunami" sounds significantly better than saying "Giant wave of water caused by an earthquake in the ocean that then
But there really isn't a purpose for saying "kawaii" when "cute" already exists in English. Which is the exact reason why I don't get the reason behind Oxford confirming "kawaii" in its dictionary.
TLDR: Weeaboos are making Oxford University add unnecessary terms to its dictionaries. Good job. Now go make desu become an actual term within the dictionary as well

I have absolutely no idea what the hell is Newspeak, but Wikipedia's "See also" section for that article sounds, well, interesting.
