    Engrish

    I had to share this site

    http://www.engrish.com

    Q. What is Engrish?

    A. Engrish can be simply defined as the humorous English mistakes that appear in Japanese advertising and product design.

    Warning!!! It's not PC and is sometimes obscene.

      The bad thing about Engrish is not when it makes sense but when normal "English" begins to sounds strange.

          Chinglish can be just as good. When I was in China, I took pictures of some good signs, a few of which are at http://jziegler.smugmug.com/gallery/...21864756_EmdoY

          I heard that China is trying to get native english speakers in the country before the Olympics this summer to fix signs, but I doubt that they will get all of them in time, there are a whole lot of bad ones.
