Headword 1エヌジ
Reading 1エヌジ
Part-of-speechadj-na
English 1no good
CommentAlthough this word is written in English (usually seen as "NG"), I would argue that it is a Japanese word because it is only used in Japanese. I would also argue that it is similar to katakana adaptations of English words.

ReferenceGoogits, over 9.300.000 for "電子メール".
Comment電子メール is one of those words that seems a definitive (P) to me, but doesn't appear in newspaper archives in big numbers. Request (P) on headword 1.

Does anyone really use メイル to spell メール? Googits make me inclined to suggest (ok). Wikipedia JP doesn't mention メイル at all in the 電子メール article.
