lol @ all you language elitists rueing the "corruption" of your beloved language.

If you think the English you speak is so "pure" then read some Shakespeare and ask yourself what language you are speaking now.

Bottom line.. language evolves.

If you are interested in this topic research linguistics and in particular socio-linguistics for yourselves.

To learn Japanese (or any language) all you need is the ability to grasp some basic concepts on the way the language works and practice it regularly.
