Lost In Translation - English Gone Wrong

By: Dahlia Rideout ( Little_person View Profile)

One of my favorite things about traveling is seeing how English is used, or misused. Apparently I'm not alone. Most of these seem to be from Asian countries, however there are a few from other parts of the world that are just as hilarious. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

hilarious! i've got two entries that might be of interest to you guys: http://flipland2.blogspot.com/2008/04/funny-signs.html and http://flipland2.blogspot.com/2007/12/pic-of-day.html enjoy!

Check out www.engrish.com Lots of very funny, mostly Asian examples of some very broken English

This is cool - there's a load of comedy Chinese translations and stuff on www.chinamadness.com too which is pretty funny. I like Corn Frakes the best. :-)
