Since becoming an anime fan and starting to browse more anime discussions I discovered something that really bugs me. I don't see it too often but it annoys the crap out of me when I do. That is, people randomly using Japanese words for no good reason. And, even more so, people who then feel the need to follow up that word with its English counterpart. You know, the kind of sentences which read like, "The tori (bird) flapped its tsubasa (wings) through the sora (sky) happily until it was time for its bento (lunch)." Seriously, what the hell is up with that?

First off, it's not fooling anyone; it's painfully obvious that people who do this don't actually speak the language. Second, following up with the English word renders the Japanese word completely pointless and redundant. Third, I'll nad kick anyone who does this in the comments.
