Really curious how people views "cultural pollution" so differently. There are some words/usage we takes directly from japan and no one complains, for example 一枚入, 定食, do we need to change those back to what we would have said before influenced by Japan? What I mean is, culture/language slowly evolves, they aren't stagnant, as long as the world are progressing, as long as we are interacting with each other, language changes.

Information density: Writing takes awhile, but reading them is super efficient, a short line of words can replace a small paragraph in alphabet based writing. For us Chinese reader, could never "appreciate" the character limits then-twitter, our language is so dense that 12 Chinese character(which occupy 24 single spaced characters) can describe a full event, what can alphabet based writing do with 24?

i am not so sure about the list, I found many are spoken pretty much interchangeably in Taiwan sometimes: 便利店 vs 便利商店, 每秒幀數 vs 每秒影格數(I actually heard more of the former from those youtuber), 高清 vs 高畫質(I actually heard more of the former from those youtuber) etc.
