I want to introduce you to a Web site that I love:  Engrish.com

Q. What is Engrish?

A. Engrish can be simply defined as the humorous English mistakes that appear in Japanese advertising and product design.

Q. Is Engrish found only in Japan?

A. No, Engrish can be found all over the world, but the vast majority of the really funny and creative Engrish is from Japan. The webmaster has seen many examples of Engrish from around the world, but most are not fit for Engrish.com (ie – they are not funny enough). People are invited to send in Engrish from other countries (including the US) – if some really good examples come in, Engrish.com will be happy to post them.

Here are some of my favorites from Engrish.com:

It’s difficult to pick favorites – there are so many gems on this site – go to www.Engrish.com and have some laughs at mangled English . . . but keep in mind that your translation from English to Japanese, Chinese, etc. would be just as funny to people from those countries.

(One of these days, I’m going to tell your about some my Costa-Rican-mangled-English stories)
