Re: Personally. I love the melting pot of language.
Germany uses a lot of English words as well, they are "eingedeutscht".
They can also be confusing.
Beamer = Projector and not a BMW over here.
Handy = mobile / cell / smartphone
User (the correct German is Benutzer)
Computer or PC (the correct German is Rechner)
Password (the correct German is Kennwort)
Uploaden and downloaden as verbs.
And it seems to be very cool to use English words in advertising - although I sometime cringe at the inappropriate use of English in adverts.
