OP Words get imported into the English language without fear or favour (unlike the French who hate "Franglais" as they say it pollutes the pure form). Examples can be found everywhere e.g. "fait d'accompli" etc. However the word "Walkman" was coined by the Sony Company for their product and it has become an eponym as well as having, apparently, no Japanese equivalent. A Japanese word, invented by Japanese spelt in an English way (walk-man). Can anyone suggest anymore?
