Less-approximate and more-approximate forms of loan words


When Japanese incorporates a Western word, especially English, often the
spelling rather than the pronunciation is respected in the transcription,
thus, ending up with a transcription that is not the closest possible within
the limitation of Japanese phonology. And then, later on, on some occasions,
(often young) people start to use a form that is closer to the original
pronunciation, and there arise two forms. What examples can you think of for
such cases?

Examples

  * Michael

> マイケル (traditional)  
>  マイコー(recent slang, especially referring to Michael Jackson)

  * Volley ball 

> バレーボール (traditional)  
>  バリボー (recent slang)

  * People

> ピープル (traditional)  
>  ピーポー (recent slang, as in `一般ピーポー`)

  * Apple

> アップル (traditional)  
>  アポー (recent slang, especially referring to Apple computer Inc.)

The following are examples of different forms both respecting the original
pronunciation, and are not examples of what I am asking:

  * Benjamin

> ベンジャミン (as with the American president)  
>  ベンヤミン (as with the German philosopher)
>




Actually, there are also examples of a different, almost opposite phenomenon.
For example, ドル, which looks like it represents the sound as heard, and the
modern form オイルダラー based on American English pronunciation. I'm also reminded
of the story I heard once that the word カメヤ (I think) was current during the
Meiji period as a word for 'dog'. It was based on 'Come here!', which would
now be カムヒヤー (yuk!). Also ズロース for 'drawers' (clothing), which is a wonderful
rendition of the actual English pronunciation, much closer than ドロアーズ would
be.




Here are some:

Key:

1 - Original spelling in katakana  
2 - Newer spelling in katakana (tends to be closer to pronunciation)

[code]

    1. アステリスク
    2. アスタリスク 
    
[/code]

Anything with `ファ`、`フィ`、`フェ`, etc. <\--- Originally were not in Japanese
(introduced in Meiji Era, but many elderly still use `フア` and `フイ`)

[code]

    1. フアン
    2. ファン
    
    1. フアイル
    2. ファイル
    
    1. フイート
    2. フィート
    
    1. デズニ－ランド
    2. ディズニーランド
    
    1. キャンデー
    2. キャンディ
    
[/code]

Another more recent trend is adding the ッ to make it more close to the English
pronunciation.

[code]

    1. ドーナツ
    2. ドーナッツ
    
[/code]

Also the use of ヴィ instead of ビ (This example doesn't actually fit the
pattern, both ビ and ヴィ have the same pronunciation, but since ビ and be also
"bi", to make a distinction between "bi" and "v", ヴィ was introduced):

[code]

    1. ビンテージ
    2. ヴィンテージ
    
[/code]

There are 2 versions of the word "smooth" in katakana, however according to
the comment from @Matt there are historical references to スムーズ from 1918 which
date before スムース, so it may not be applicable, if anyone has any evidence as
to the etymology between the two words it would be appreciated:

[code]

    1. スムース
    2. スムーズ
    
[/code]
