uhm other languages have those words too

Yeah, then we took them and added them to the pile. also, few of them have the flexibility of "bigness" and one of my favorites, "bigocity", and everyone still knows exactly what you mean. Like, look at shakespeare. He invented so many words that we use now, because they were similar to what they had, but flexed a bit for added dimensions. Admittedly though, I just know english, and random smatterings of other languages from books and history, so maybe Spanish speaking people can say "grandedad" and people understand.

I think it has to do with the ubiquity of good 3g and WiFi over there, right? It's been pretty good for a while, so they just use email instead because it's free, aside from a data plan or w/e
its been that way for way longer than 3g and wifi have been around I think, japanese phones have had email forever. it might be that sms sucks for japanese because it was designed in the 80s by europeans with its own weird 7-bit text encoding and insanely small packet size limits

I'm not going to ever learn Japanese because just thinking about how I'd sound speaking it with a southern accent makes me die a little
If it helps any, I am from Texas and I just start pronouncing stuff differently when I start trying to do stuff in Spanish or Japanese. It's like a mode switch. Kind of like if I'm singing. And I'm not super deep into either of those yet as well. It takes a little practice to get it started though, and I'll admit I don't have the thickest accent in my default english.

Don't let that be the thing that holds you back though!
