I also think that anime is a type of cartoon.

No. I don't use Japanese words unless I'm talking about something Japanese.

EDIT: Oh, I thought you meant using "manga" to refer to manga. I do NOT use Japanese words in my sentences. I do not go around saying kawaii and things like that o.o

Brrrrriilliant!

and yeah, I'd have to agree with you there.

"Kawaii" is a banned word in my dictionary

Forget speech, people use them in forums and chatrooms...drives me up the wall.

Everyday I'm tumblin'

I have never used Japanese words in my speech. Nor have I heard anyone around me to use them (Of course I don't count anime/manga terms and the like)
However it is a different issue if it's about blending my native language with English. It is really common in my school, especially as most of our classes are taught in English. I personally find it really ugly and it bothers me a lot when I can remember only the English equivalent of certain words I like our language and I don't think it deserves to be spoiled anymore that way xD

Blak, none of your links ever work for me.

It happens to me all the time too, and it just drives me crazy!!!
On topic, I haven't used or heard anyone else using japanese words either.

No, it's still redirecting.

I could get it to work, but I had to copy the link location and put it in the address bar manually to see the actual picture.

Edit: Ah, mod powers come in handy, huh?

Oh god... one of the girls in my Anime society recently got my phone number and she texted me something which is a mixture of Japanese and English I was quite annoyed but then again she does wear a dog collar and sometimes cat (dog) ears, so I should expect shes gone far beyond the realms of otaku for her to be able to understand the difference.

no never, it sounds weird, even though sometimes I tend to mix english/german when I'm speaking in my native language usually only for technical term.

I don't like to mix word from a language which I'm not fluent. I mean mostly those ppl who japanese words in their sentences can't even speak japanese for daily conversation

the japanese do it themselves, why can't we? is what I think.
Have you seen the amount of english/engrish that is out there, and other foreigners also add in certain english words to make themselves look 'cool'.
We use a lot of other languages in our speech, such as de ja vu, asta la vista etc, I honestly see no problem with it.

Since I speak roughly 4 languages, I tend to slip in and out of them when speaking, I think you shouldn't do it online unless the other person knows what you are saying, for instance if someone said 'sugoi' in an email to me, I'd get it but saying it an online forum where people don't get the japanese culture/language is a no-no, I think it's nice as long as there's no racism or they're making fun.

Well Japan does it for English, it's only fair. They use English because they think it's cool.

If we don't like people using Japanese in their sentences because we think it sounds stupid, does that look like we think Japanese is beneath usage in English sentences?

Sure it IS stupid but I'm just saying...
