This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's over-emphasizing the non-japanese sounds in "hamburger"; the point is that there are rules for loan words in any language and it sounds awkward if you break them.
Oh, I thought we were talking about anglophones pronouncing non-english words, not the other way around.
Japanese gets a pass on its loanwords because the language doesn't have the letters to pronounce a lot of words from other languages. It does the best it can. I don't know many English speakers who pronounce Llewellyn the Welsh way...
But if you're ordering a hamburger in Japan, there's probably already something wrong with you anyway. Unless it's at Gasto. In that case, enjoy your ハンバーグ.
