- William Bennecke asks about the frequent appearance of English words in
- anime soundtracks. This question is so deep, it's shallow. English words
- appear EVERYWHERE in Japan and Japanese life. The Japanese have to study it
- for a couple of years in high school. It's on signs on all of the streets and
- in the subways. English words creep into normal conversation, sometimes
- unconsciously. The question would be a whole lot more interesting if English
- words DIDN'T show up AT ALL in anime soundtracks.
- Now, about the number of English words used in Canadian animation...
