Dear Log,
"Sticker photo in new paradigm photoclick internet photo service"
-- Japlish on a kiosk
where you can hardcopy your cellphone's pictures
onto sticker-paper
It was, what, four decades ago that Thomas Kuhn wrote Structure of Scientific Revolutions and became the popularizer of "paradigm" to mean [revolutionary new] way of seeing the world. And folks, I hope he envisioned it being used in Japlish.
Hmm, if paradigm drops out of popular (ab)usage, what becomes the new center square in Buzzord Bingo?
Maybe its all the Rice that I swallowed yesterday, but my vote goes for the use of "task" as a verb...

After that, how about the use of "source" as a verb? Gah!
