Engrish

When translating, many things get lost, such as meaning or grammatical structure. In America we like to have t-shirts designed with words from Japanese or Chinese or other languages, because we think it looks cool. The same is true in Japan. There is English writing all over the place, A good percent of the time, the English is correct, but more often then not you will find something wrong. Sometimes it's so bad you wonder how it is even possible.

When I find Engrish, I will do my best to take a picture and post it.
Here is one from local Music and book store in AEON Town.

Funny! That sign doesn't even make sense; don't they know that? I guess that's why you are there, to help them speak better "Engrish"! Love, Mom
