Might just quit it altogether, but I don't think I can, haha.
Also, blehh load shedding. Do you have load shedding in Brazil, Brisin?

Not where I live, no. We did have some major blackouts some years ago, but I think they took measures so that doesnt happen again.
Cant say that doesnt happen anywhere in Brazil, just never heard of it before.
From time to time, we do have some government commercials trying to educate people to not leave lights on when they are away, not leave fridges at maximum, etc, and it usually happens during the summer here. But I never had to turn off lights purposedly. Just plain blackouts.
These are in portuguese, but you can see the dates they happened:

Blackout got "translated" to portuguese, "blecaute". Argh.

Brisin, I think that's... Portuguese doesn't even use a different alphabet. I can sort of understand how it happens in Hindi, like you go "name" -> नाम -> "naam" as you use the Latin transliteration of the Hindi script, but that's not directly... changing the word. Wtf.
In German, most newer English loanwords are just left the way they are. It's kind of funny sometimes because in German as loanwords, colour is spelled color while glamour is glamour (LOGIC). Some older loanwords were changed ages ago, like Bureau -> Büro. Meh.

Portuguese have this bad habit. Abajour turns to abajur. Blackout to blecaute. There are several like that. Pretty much people start writing the word as it sounds and match it with portuguese phonemes.

Yeah, there is. People just dont give a sh*t.
And after it gets too much use, it ends up in the dictionary.
Like the word "delete". It became a verb here "deletar". The word didnt even existed, and it's already a widespread verb. We have another portuguese word that means exactly the same thing, "apagar", but no one cares.
This is the brazillian one:

There is a portuguese too:

They do this in German/Dutch, too. Like, raiden, or downloaden, or, my favourite, healen. Note that the German word for "to heal" is heilen. It's almost the same word. You don't add anything by using a Germanised version of the English word.
Okay, not smoking turns me into a linguistic conservatist. It's okay to use these words.
What's funny in German is that there's this phrase "wayne". It's a mock-English shortening of the German phrase "Wen interessiert's?" (Who cares?), and I think it's actually kind of funny.

RUNTERLADEN!
I remember reading that on my uncle's monitor and wondering what the hell it meant.
Most Scandinavian countries have a bad habit of morphing loanwords as well (Norwegian 'sone' or 'stasjon' instead of zone and station, Swedish 'majla' instead of mail(e), etc.).
Danish is relatively free of those morphed words. We do pronounce it stasjon and mæjle, but we write it station and maile (the 'e' in the end indicates an action - to mail, at maile).

Yeah, runterladen is downloaden. heh
Do you actually say "downloade"? and "Jeg raider!"
