Look, don't preach about the English language unless you can show some credible certificate that states you've mastered it. All right?
There are plenty of words in this oh-so-rock solid language that have been adapted from other cultures. An example you ask? 'Angst.' It's a German word with a %100 English counter-part: Fear.
Now, would it seem odd to read a book in the genre of 'fear?' The word was assimilated into the language and is accepted by many as an English word, despite it being a true German word.
There are many other examples of this if you look around you. I believe 'anime' and 'manga' qualify as such words. Their popularity has grown to a scale that the terms have been brought into the language.
The English language is always adapting. Like the word 'ain't'-- it was used so commonly it's been accepted.
I don't see what the point of this criticism is, especially when it's merely someone's opinion. As I see from this, your personality resembles that of a troll, so she was not at fault by using the term.
