They Really Should Know Better

Yet another example of some engrish, this time at a place that really should know better. At this place, one can make use of the Malti Media center.

And where did I see this shining example of engrish. At work. That's right, the school that teaches English has a misspelled sign. I think I'll mention it on Thursday when I have my next shift. It really doesn't do much for the reputation of the school.

Engrish On A Plane

Since I didn't get a chance to see it while I was in Australia, I may try and see Snakes Flight while it's showing over here

More Engrish

I saw this one at a book store that has a moderate english selection. In the science fiction part, they had some Star Treck books. This is pretty amazing as the Star Trek books with the correct spelling were right there for them to check the spelling.

Engrish Ahoy

So far while in Japan I've picked up a few instances of Engrish. The first was at the airport where there was an ad for "fine groumet food". Today while wondering around Osaka, I saw an optometrist offering "freams, lens, and cleaning fluid". More will be reported as I encounter them.

Edit: 10:23 22/9/06 I just bothered typing up the third example I remembered a while ago. One the toilet each day after the cleaner has been in my room the toilet has a strip of paper telling me the toilet has been sanitarized.

Edit: 20:30 23/9/06 At the train station I had the choice of getting a single trip ticket or buying a commutation ticket.
