Actually, I think Viz did a pretty good jon having her speak that way,
although Viz overexaggerated it a bit more than in the Japanese version. In
the Japanese version, she does speak, kinda broken, but it's more like
incomplete sentences. It's not perfect compared to how everyone else speaks,
but it's not as terrible as they make it seem in the dubbed version. I'm sure
I have heard Shampoo say "watashi wa" before. I haven't watched my subtitled
Ranma in a week or so, so I kinda forget.

As for the manga, I haven't read a manga with Shampoo in it yet, so I can't
comment on that.
