Nope. I despise weaboos. 😔 😐 😔
That reminds me... my mom (50+) loves Korean dramas (but we're Vietnamese) and she would say "oppa" or whatever (sorry to all Koreans if the spelling is horrid) randomly... and she'd also say other random Korean words that are said a lot. x_______x facepalm

Of course I use Japanese words in my English sentences. I bet the rest of you do also. Japanese words like Toshiba, mitsubishi, honda, nissan are some of the japanese words I use when I speak english. So ya it is normal to use japanese words or any other language in english sentences. You guys have to understand english is derived from many other languages. Greek, french,spanish, etc..

Uhhhh.... I don't think you understand the context of the question...... x______x
And... I don't think Japanese is derived from any of the languages you listed........ o______o [edit--] Sorry, I read your last sentences wrong. There are VERY FEW English words derived from Japanese. But the question was about using literal words from the Japanese language into our everyday sentences, not English words that have Japanese origin.

No, I don't. In fact, it irritates me most of the time especially if the person is using it in the wrong way. It pisses me off haha. But that only applies when the person is saying it to me face-to-face but if it's in the net, I don't really mind. Japanese brand names are not included here, ok? Since they're brands, I can understand that but when a friend of mine say a sentence such as "that cat is so kawaiii!!!" or "that kuma-san is adorable!". I feel like blowing my head off when I hear it but my friends rarely use it around me since they know it irritates me. Friendship is all about compromise as well! 🙂

Using japanese words in english is strange...but I can't complain much. Not that I use Japanese when I'm talking, but because I tend to speak Spanglish(?) because I got so use to reading and watching everything in English, I forget how it is said in Spanish and just go ahead and say the one that comes first. Never actually came a cross someone who does it, though.

I find it that people who do that sound pathetic...seriously speak your own language
It's okay if you use it in the correct grammatical way but I hate it when people talk like that (ex. "you know that was so kawaii...etc etc") I also don't like it when they give each other Japanese names. i mean I heard someone say "sasori-chan sasori-chan" I turned around to see what that racket was and a girl who 'named' herself sasori when her real name was "(insert name here)"
geez, no matter how much I like manga I ain't going to do something like that. I mean things like company names and such like the honda car or nintendo/etc are fine..
