If it's not too late, here's my twopenceworth.
I have no problem whatever over anglicisms, however (mis)understood, in
contemporary German usage (apart from working out how to pronounce them).
Completely up to the Germans, I should think. But I do allow myself a chuckle
when I observe at Düsseldorf international airport's railway station the sign
on the trolley park: Place coin on back side... (mind you, it could have been
worse...)
