AceNoctali Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 So I'm currently on a study trip in Japan, and just as they said before my departure, there's a lot of Engrish in there. XD So why should I show you some photos of those I've taken so far ? ;) (One of my forum's member say that in Italian, the word "café" is correctly written here... Can anyone knowing that language confirm this ?) (I particulary love this one. It's so fucked up it's awesome :D) (Just for the note, NO, I haven't entered that shop, so I don't know for sure what's inside. Me thinks it's a sexy clothes shop, seeing the goods at the enterance.) (My personal favourite of all these photos along with the "Sale" one. XD) Discuss. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uguu Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 56K warning? Haven't seen any of those since before Nsider shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceNoctali Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well, that was just in case. I know DSL is mainstream now, but some people still have low speed modems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call me AL Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well, that was just in case. I know DSL is mainstream now, but some people still have low speed modems. Or low virtual memory, especially when using a game system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wist Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Cafe in Italian is cafè, caffè means coffee. I found the CD sale image very amusing as well. Edit (2008.11.15): Ah, I see you're from France. Yeah, café is the same as caffè. Edited November 15, 2008 by Wist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Not Japanese, but I got a good Engrish photo when I was in China some years back. (Imagines someone attacking a plane hand-to-hand combat style ) Then there was this amusing character in the bathroom. I don't have any idea what it says, but I would laugh if it was something like "push butt, rub under arm". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 It's not that funny really :/. It's just engrish. Why should they have perfect grammar? Their sentences still get the general message across. Engrish is funny when it reads as something ELSE as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their sentences still get the general message across. Engrish is funny when it reads as something ELSE as well. When you see an aberration such as the CD sale photo, even the "don't need to have perfect grammar" excuse is not valid. Seriously, I'm not even sure to have understood what they meant with "This sale changes the end without a notice again". <_< And well, it's better to take this with humour and laugh when you see it, rather than playing the grammar nazi and enter rage mode, no ? :P Edited November 15, 2008 by AceNoctali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their sentences still get the general message across. Engrish is funny when it reads as something ELSE as well. I can definitely sympathize with that sentiment. And personally, as a foreigner living in a non-English speaking country (currently Switzerland), I appreciate all the English I can get, poor grammar or no. This is why I posted the one I did, rather than say the picture with the side-by-side bins for recycling and unrecycling. (In fact, I don't think I even took a picture of it, as it just wasn't funny enough to warrant one, in my opinion.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway this Chinese one has circulated and regurgitated around the internet too much but cracks me up every time... One of those doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd want to go into hospital for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
