    One of my favorite Dogen videos, about how many loanwords can sound normal in a conversation

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW4AiEqKGto

    He had another one I think recently about a dentist who kept dropping random English words in sentences while talking with Dogen but he had katakana pronunciation so it was basically impossible to understand (one example was he threw in the word “jaw” but said “jō” instead).
