From the New York Times: ""For the last two years, the Shanghai Commission for the Management of Language Use has been trying to clean up English-language signs and menus to rid them of their malapropisms, like these examples."
I spend most of my weeks teaching English to adult immigrants. It's hard work, and beyond my wonderful, grateful learners, often a thankless job. So, sometimes a little humor is in order.
The New York Times has several more examples available here.
Happy weekend!

I teach English in Brazil and have a standing offer for students who find translations like these. They get a chocolate bar from the lunch counter.
Ha ha! I love that Daniel.
