I would argue that you should draw on useful concepts from any language,
not paying any attention to their existence in other languages--so if a
useful concept is in Japanese but not English, you should use it anyway.
(I think that at one point you mentioned that 'it' is implicit in
Japanese--so does $_ qualify? :^) ) Of course, I might just be
rationalizing my own cultural imperialism...

Wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in
New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. And radio operates
exactly the same way. The only difference is that there is no cat.
