All the same Engrish to me

This morning, I am having a tasty bacon egg and cheese English muffin sandwich for breakfast plus orange juice straight out of the carton, just to wash down the runny yolk and bacon grease. I have just made the following discovery:

English (country) = イギリス        
= i-gi-ri-su
English (adjective)= イギリスの...
= i-gi-ri-su-no-...
English (person) = イギリス人
= i-gi-ri-su-jin
English (language) = えいご         
= e-i-go
English (muffin) = インぎリシュマッフィン 
= i-n-gi-ri-shu-ma-fi-n

Weird. If you don't think that this is weird, you have either not been in Japan or been in Japan too long.
