Fascinating stuff, William!
Your examples of English letters used in place of native-language words reminds me (in a backward fashion) of a lunch item one would often see on menus in Brazil: the ubiqutious X-burger. The letter X is Brazil is pronouned "sheese"; close enough to the English "cheese" to make it an acceptable substitute for short-order cooks and their customers
