I don't care if English is already a filthy mutt of a language that's absorbed countless words from other languages over the centuries, I don't want to see it happening.
I'm actually seriously mixed on this issue. Do you have any idea how annoying it is when you're in Germany and it seems like they try to use English to replace practically everything (these guys even curse in English)? They don't always do it just because it's easier either. They do it because America dominates everything and English is thus made "cool". Same thing with the Nakama stuff, except it's limited to anime people.
Then again, languages do (and have to) borrow from each other as a law of nature, so I guess you can't really say it's bad. Just damn annoying.
