Engrish & Funny Typos

This is a sign outside of a school’s parking lot. This doesn’t help their image.

For those who want to know what this says without putting forth the effort of translating this mess, here is my best guess (with typos):

Council exchange *unintelligible* – I have a council stuido flat in Wallisdown own kitchen own bathroom intocom system on ground floor *unintelligible* quiet block of four *unintelligible* quiet astate pets allowed with permisson A big commual garden all fenced off If anyone would be intrested in swapping with me chan call on *number removed* I am looking to swap to Winton on Moondown on surrounding arears

Do you know anyone who wears corduroy? Judging by the liquidation sale sign, I’d say no and that their typo isn’t going to make this process any less painless.

Well, I thought that things like boiling water were pretty simple, and were even more simple when it came to a pot of water for a coffee maker but it would seem that I have been proven wrong. I do have a problem though with the run on sentence that they have going on. There needs to be at the very least a semicolon after the first independent clause.

If I were an English teacher, I would have such a field day with the lack of proper punctuation in this paper.

Wait, what? How did no one catch this? More importantly, why didn’t spellcheck catch this? I would give up on humanity, but at least they spelled “classic” with two s’s and c’s.

The place which takes a taxi. Ah, Engish I can finally understand…sort of.

Another instance of subtitles trying to give accurate information, and missing the mark. At least they were close phonetically.
