Denglish?

You know maybe I've been here too long, but I always thought that strange uses of English were limited to Japanese. Alas, I do remember a German friend of mine when I was living in DC say 'password (w is pronounced 'V' of course) over the phone to his father.

I guess I just never thought in English would be 'in vogue' in Europe. Japanese people are en masse always trying to speak more English, but I always assumed that Europeans in general would never do such a thing.
