In general I agree with you. English is full of words made up and borrowed from other languages. Mostly borrowed from many languages. My main issue was that most of these are phrases. The smaller point was the "jai ho" one, as that is not a very common phrase (at least I've never heard it before, granted that's really not saying much). For a borrowed word to be considered english I think it should have to be significantly more common. Perhaps it's well on it's way to becoming english but I don't think it is there yet. But that is merely my opinion and things like this are heavily subject to opinions when it comes to them being "right" or "correct". Pinning it down definitively is hard to do.

This list is a bit brain dead. Four of the "words" are actually phrases, this can be noted by the fact that they are two words with a space between them, not a single word. Two of them included digits as part of them, words are made from letters. Granted n00b can be spelled a variety of ways but they choose a numeric way. And one of the "words" is both non-English and a phrase. In the write up itself it states it's Hindi, not English. "Hola", spanish for Hello, is commonly used in english speaking areas too, doesn't make it an english word.
