Website of the Week

This Wednesday’s Website of the Week is www.engrish.com. English is a difficult language to learn.Image courtesy of engrish.com image courtesy of engrish.comThe whole meaning of a sentence can be changed if one word is wrong or out of place, often with very funny results.  www.engrish.com is a website that has pictures of hilarious mistakes in English printed on products and advertising from Japan.  It is the style to have words in English as decoration on clothing, signs and all kinds of other stuff, whether or not the average Japanese consumer knows what the words mean.  Just like the clothing and tattoos of Japanese characters that are popular in the U.S., the way that they look is more important than what they mean.  This leads to some extremely funny sayings.  I should warn you that this website made me laugh until I was snorting, so make sure you are in a place that it’s ok to laugh so hard you fall out of your chair.

Great website. I like the sign that has the no smoking symbol and then has the following message, "The act of smoking, eating, and drinking the drink and staying on for a long time become troubled of other users and stop it please."
