I'm for that. If they want to use English, please use it correctly. Sounds like that official had been listening to an Al Gore 2000 campaign speech about "risky schemes".

I'm all for this "Informed Consent" is now used quite a bit . . . I have yet to find anyone here who knows what it means when they hear it

I never understood why in Japan so much English is used? Then again I don't know the history of the clountry too much. In Kyoto I often saw "open house" and wondered how many Japanese understood that. Or "Renta- ka-". Is Japanese the only language in the world that does not have a word for "rental car"? They should use Japanese words and be done with it. I think this whole katakana thing is a bit ridiculous. Please ignore that last sentence, it's not up to me to determine if it is ridiculous or not.

I love Japanese advertising copy that uses "Scheme" in it----I sure do want to buy a (software) product "scheme".
