It's fascinating just how much of modern Japanese seems to be just English but in katakana.

It can be confusing because there’s a tendency to assume the katakana words are US English, when all foreign words are written in katakana. For example you would turn on your “ウインカー” (“winker”) when turning your car, but this word comes from the UK, the American term is “turning signal”
