style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>This reminds me of what I call
Japlish.  I was doing a project studying loan words in Japanese. 
It's really funny what they have loan words for.  Many of the younger
generation kids use the English words for things they already have a Japanese
word for--such as the word for 'beach.'  They will say 'biichi' instead of
'umibe,' the pure Japanese word for 'beach.'  I think this is because of a
status symbol and/or a generational thing.  It makes them feel more cool,
or something, and their parents don't understand it as well.  (Of course,
you know, if our parents can't understand what we're saying, then they must be
stupid, right?)</span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black;
