Engrish & Funny Typos

Another user-submitted typo, taken from a video game review video. I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with The Angry Video Game Nerd or his review of all of the Ghostbuster’s video games. This particular selection was found in his review in which the AVGN went through and counted all of the mistakes found on this screen that you see after beating the game.

Another misuse of quotation marks, giving those of us with more intimate knowledge of English grammar a slightly dirty chuckle.

Normally, quotations around a word in English like this imply double meanings. I feel badly for this hotel for unknowingly making their cautionary request into a joke.

This could be read two ways and both ways are still wrong.

1. Smile. Your own camera <– Could be a good sales tactic for selling camera.
2. Smile, You’re On Camera <– This lets you know that customers are being watched, so no shoplifting!

I’m going to go with option number two. Maybe somebody stole the apostrophe while they were changing the film in camera?

Can’t we just say we give up and let people use apostrophes however they wish. Or should I say let them use apostrophe’s however they wish.

We’ve all seen our share of misused apostrophes, but this one was over the top.  Found in a restaurant in Portland, OR.

I feel like I need a whole category for fast food restaurant signs with bad grammar and missed typos. What does this say about the teenagers of America and the foreigners who manage them?

Concession trailers by Custom Concessions.

John Currier from Gastonia, NC gets credit for this one.

Thanks to PewPotato for this town mailer typo. If they would really like my opinion, get a better proofreader, as should “i”.

I got this copy of 少年去天国 because it said it had English subtitles. It does, but I don’t think they are going to help me understand the movie.
