    Default Read'em and (laugh 'til you) weep!

    Nothing found for Category_index Php?category=CHINGLISH

    That link's broken now (time marches on) so try starting here: Most Popular | Engrish.com

    For the adults, try here: Adult Engrish

    I really don't like the internet shorthand that has become everyday lingo. So I'll just write it out properly...

    That page made me literally laugh out loud.

    Thank you for that.

    You're welcome, sir

    The home page, http://www.engrish.com/ concentrates on Japanese mistranslations, they've collected hundreds, probably thousands of examples in Japan.

    Looking at that site reminds me of reading instructions from Harbor Freight tools.

    Now that was funny and true Coils, as that is just what the instructions are like.
