The LA Times did a big article about this back in December (I linked to it
from my blog, even). There are a lot of words that have dictionary
translations in Japanese, but young people are choosing to use English words
instead. It's creating confusion, as there are a lot of two-syllable type
words that already have a close relative in Japanese.
