True it makes sense technically . . . I just generally don't hear songs from her . . . that go in that direction o.0

I'm gonna say no...why? I don't really know...sometimes it just bothers me because it's too common. I like the Japanese language and I listen to J-music for that purpose. Plus, it can be a little awkward at times (not to be mean). There are rare occassions when it sounds just a teensy bit cute.

You know, reading the English-language forums online, I really really think that "Engrish" is the future of English.

LOLz? Teh? Oh hai? Suxxor? Sequal?

It all sounds like Engrish to me!

Anyway, I don't mind "Engrish", because it's English as spoken by a non-native speaker. Forgiveable. What I find disappointing and ugly is when native speakers of English don't even know how to use their own language properly.

Doesn't it mean she wants someone else's boyfriend, someone else's "baby", "honey pie" "darling"...?

Why is it always about xes around here?

Sometimes I'm okay with it and sometimes it's confusing. I usually let it slide, but there are times where I am just completely befuddled.

No, i think it's quite a disgrace. If you're not good in english, you'll need to improve it before using it in songs etc.
