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.

I’m not sure that spa is the best thing to relax in. Maybe it is more for aroma therapy? Nah.

Sadly, this was in a museum in Iran. It would make me very unsure of the museum’s displays. Or should I say, “Trusting museum not.” Engrish will never get old.

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?

This is what you “smell” – so I’m guessing you aren’t really smelling anything…in reality? Or maybe this is a sarcastic quoting? But in this reality I know that someone just used quotes without any idea of when to use quotation marks.

The attached photo was taken on Rt 30 heading into Pittsburgh. I thought I read the sign wrong when I first drove by, so I turned around to double check. I couldn’t pass up such a great photo!

I’ll admit my Thai is a little rusty (read, nonexistent) but I’m pretty sure it is supposed to say Thai Sushi.

I knew this didn’t taste like Pork Loin. Duped again by the Asian market.

I know California is close to the bottom of the best-educated states but this is just ridiculous! This picture was taken on a California highway in LA county. Maybe it’s time to start focusing more of those tax “dallors” on education. Oh wait! You guys are bankrupt aren’t you? Haha, maybe next year, eh.
