China’s attempt at better English signs

    I think we are all familiar with Chinglish: “for indoor or outdoor use ONLY!”, “Please do not put knife in children”, etc they REALLY need to hire some native english speakers to do the signs, not some so-so natives who maybe, might, sorta speak a little english…..

    But that is just my opinion. But then again, I find it all so amusing. After all, they are trying to poison the world, we might as well die laughing, right?

    ‘They’re trying to poison the world’…ha uhmm ha..ha..

    Like they’re trying to make the world starve by eating more(and not starving themselves?)…

    With 1/6th of the human population, aren’t they a major part of ‘the world’…

    I used to think that Japanglish was funny!
    Now I am a big fan of Chinglish!

    Go, good-intentioned public servants!
    Forward with the unintended puns, and fantastic uses of High English to bellyaching effects!
