"Mouse", "trash" has good native words in all languages I know. It sounds quote silly mixing in english when you speak.

From my non native point of view, "mouse" is the computer peripheral while a "șoarece" will steal your cheese.
Sure it might be nice with new words to have a distinction between animal mice and computer mouse.

I am not dogmatically against using english words if they are commonly used but I am against avoiding native words becouse it sounds abit like corparate speak to me.

And yet, in at least 2 Asian languages, they get over it
