Yep and I will thank God when we live in a day and age when the 1.5 million dollar a single cruise missile costs, will be used to nourish and educate people rather than "shock and awe"-ing them.
Yep,
apart from that it's not as if English terms would hurt a language. They become incorporated into the host language and are treated as if they were native words.
A German wouldn't say he downloaded some software but rather he has downgeloadet it (which is normal German present perfect formation).
No worries on that front whereas executives tend to use whole English phrases just for sounding well "sophisticated", I suppose.
