Subject: Japanese Teens' Use of US English

A four-column article on Japanese teenagers' use of terms adapted from US
English as part of a secret "in" language (ko-gyaru-go =
high-school-gal-talk) appears on page 3 of the main section of today's
Sunday New York Times. Or, you can see it at the following URL:

http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/world/japan-english.html

If I'm recalling correctly, the site will make you register before giving
you access to the page, but it's free (for now anyway -- and I have no
financial interest in the NYTimes, I should maybe add). Since the URL has
"yr/mo/day" in it, I imagine the URL may change to some kind of archive
address starting as soon as Monday the 20th.
