I put this into Keilikoulu because I would like to explore one area of this report/article...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mervi Murto, the chairwoman of the League of Mother-Tongue Teachers, is not worried about the increase in the number of individual English-language words that pop up in Finnish speech. However, she is concerned about foreign syntactic structures that make their way into texts written by Finnish youngsters.
"For instance, English punctuation and incorrect case endings appear in compositions."
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
So experts..What are the main difference between English and Finnish "punctuation"?

Do you see the English words in this one?
Hittejä? Hit-song
Ezkimo?
autos?
Three English words. That's about it.
Do you see a normal Finnish words in this one?
It's all Finnish hip hop.
I can't see so much English influence, perhaps in the modern business language. Look at Jari Sillanpää. He speaks bad Finnish; it's not English either. I wonder why people pay for such a bad actor.

Pikku g laittaa enemmän hittejä kun tony halme/

mul on hulluu tyylii, ja pelkästään sen takia/
tää soi joka autos stadis tampereel ja lapualla/
ja HEY, kaikki tytöt tanssii lattialla/
kuka siunaa teit ku pappi? "sä PikkuG"/
heiluttakaa pyllyi vaan teidän takii tätä teen/
