say what???

one thing that is so funny are the spelling errors that happen a lot here. because english isn't the main language, and most names at least, are transliterated into english, there are many humorous mistakes that come about as a result of that.

take these examples:



another funny thing is the way people park. parking spaces are not the goal in parking car. space is the goal. take this example. unfortunately my perspective wasn't great, so you miss out on the fact that this is in the MIDDLE of the lane in the parking lot.

yes, the middle.

and then a favorite from today. this is the menu. translated into english. very good. should have had someone spell check though... (bad pic...hope you can read it. hysterical!)

fyi- homos=hummous

    I noticed that too....hahahah Im so glad you posted these my husband never believed me that they mispelled things like that ....maybe there should be a gov'mt position you could apply for to travel around and fix them ....although then the humor would be gone....

    Elisha, I always thought it would be a great job for an english speaker that could help avoid a lot of mistakes. But it would also take away all of our reasons to laugh hysterically! :-)
