I can't say that I have encountered a lot of that, so I really don't have an opinion about that. But I do know what kawaii, baka, neko and otaku means. I also know that sign similar to w means lol in Japanese, and it would irk me ever so much when American/European wrote it like that in Final Fantasy 11. I can feel the anger bottleing up inside just thinking about it. Somehow the game won't let me cast Firaga on people.
