Ya know, for my job I proofread and rewrite Japanese books. I dont think there is a worse language, japanese people have just enough comprehension of english to mangle it in astounding ways. Plus, with katakana, they are under the impression that the way they write/pronounce things is the same way as english speakers.
Then again, the people I work with thought Schwarzenegger was American. They also think Green Day is punk.
Go Figure.
