Come on, I know at least a few of you guys actually live in JP. Have you ever heard Japs using butchered english terms?

It's actually pretty sad. Japanese already has exclamations and other words that don't necessarily need to be replaced with english, but the common person doesn't feel like learning them.

Why "sanku yuu" has become popular is beyond me. ありがとう is such a nice word.

the entire katakana system is based on borrowed words wich are 90% english.

You can already go to japan and speak only English and get around perfectly. By the next generation of people come around they will probably be like European countries.
