> Specifically using the Japanese term shows what sort of continuous improvement you're doing.

Yeah but I find it weird that the meaning of kaizen is now different in that specific lean or whatever context when kaizen just means improvement in Japanese.

Come to think of it, There are many English words that Japanese people use that now mean something different, so I guess it’s just how things are :p

I think I’m just annoyed at these types of articles that puts Japanese words everywhere they can.
