Engrish - The Japanese way of Spelling English Words

[polejock92]

Hey All,

I just read an article from a Japanese online news sourceabout Pachislos. Found it funny thatthey spelled it "Pachisuro". Did some Googling, Youtube, & YahooJapan searches and found whole a bunch of new information using the spelling.Thought I would let everyone know because I think I have exhausted every onlinesearch for Pachislo.

It comes from the romaji version of the katakana of pachislo. パチスロ pa chi su ro The Japanese use the R in their alphabeta to represent R and L. A bit like the sterotype of chinese people saying Flied Lice instead of fried rice. And there isn't a V sound but they use a B instead.
