That's another thing we currently struggled with: some of them start seeping into our surroundings.

And part of the reason come from these translation tools, there are many translated materials (website, documentations, etc) produced using tools that do not correctly handle the difference, and those content creators don't really care about that.

Really curious how people views "cultural pollution" so differently. There are some words/usage we takes directly from japan and no one complains, for example 一枚入, 定食, do we need to change those back to what we would have said before influenced by Japan? What I mean is, culture/language slowly evolves, they are stagnant, as long as the world are progressing, as long as we are interacting with each other, language changes.

Yup, I know it's more like a preference problem.

But this is also how culture works, we can and want to choose what to accept and what to reject, and just don't want to be the same as the ones who keep acting hostile to us.

And about those Japanese words, they don't pollute our tools like the ones in OP stated, we have to choose to use them.
