And as far as I know (from my high school Japanese class last year with and actual Japanese teacher that lived in Japan a few years ago) Japanese people don't have an "L" or "R". The sound is something in between. Therefore, when they (native Japanese speakers that don't really speak English) try to say squirrel, it ends up coming out funny.
