Thank you for the Engrish business
Baskin and Ravins 31
Here, I post about how Koreans or Asians might be embarrassed at their poor use of the English language. However, when I think about it, I should consider it HUGE “business opportunities” that non-English speakers don’t use the language appropriately. My housemate reminded me that it’s “job security” for her and her boyfriend which is so write (ha, ha…I know it’s “right”).
What sparked this post was their viewing of a few facebook pages (one is I believe a Facebook Twit & the other an actual group). If you have a facebook account, I think you can access this “Engrish Twit.” Currently, this page/twit has 8,680 fans as of today (July 1, 2009). Another page called “Engrish” is basically promoting a website at www.engrish.com (and I guess now I’m promoting it too ^^) is here on Facebook. There’s 394 members of this group.
Here’s some other entertaining photos:
I thought this meant no "Snorkeling"
Just funny...
English can fool even native English speakers. See, for example, the list of funny English errors at this new website: http://www.funny-english-errors.com/fun/b-list.html
Oh, and this website has also just started a Facebook page — at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Funny-English-Errors/195248589205
Enjoy!
