Does anyone else find it annoying when people (online and offline) when people randomly insert generic Japanese words that most North American RPG players know into english sentences?

Actually, that's never happened to me before.

I only do it myself when I'm talking about iriminage or shiho-nage. Then you might as well run...

[feona17]

I honestly don't care. If people want to use random Japanese words in what they say, go ahead. If people want to use random French words, whatever flips your skirt.

But 猫 は 可愛い です.

Anyway, I guess it's slightly annoying, but more unnecessary...what would you be trying to prove or accomplish by doing that?

[Mirage]

Not any more annoying than inserting random Spanish or German words into English sentences.

[Tasura]

I randomly pasted 猫 は 可愛い です into the addres bar and got http://neko6.exblog.jp/5584053/ it made me laugh (Please refer to my psot before this in myown thread to find out why)

[Madame Adequate]

That's a fat cat.

what would you be trying to prove or accomplish by doing that?

Nothing. Why would the use of Japanese words be trying to prove or accomplish anything? It's like saying I'm trying to prove something when I say 'loquacious'. I'm not, it's just a word, I happen to use it sometimes. Pick any word aside from a very basic Newspeak-esque set of words absolutely required for communication, and you can ask that very same thing; "What are you tying to prove?"

<i>Si</i>. It is <i>muy molesto</i> when <i>norteamericano idiotas</i> do that.

[KentaRawr!]

It gets pretty annoying, but I try not to be annoyed by it. It doesn't really harm me at all. Telling someone to stop putting "Kawaii!" in every darned sentence they make is like telling them to stop typing so loud. Alas, I am annoyed by both Japanophiles AND loud typing. I guess that analogy doesn't affect me.
