More Engrish Fun

Well for those of you who've experienced the opportunity to visit the land of the setting sun, oh I mean rising sun, then I'm pretty sure you've come across what is commonly known throughout the english language as "engrish".  

And as I have posted numerous times the website, ie www.engrish.com we will see how various cultures attempt to use the english language to either communicate or advertise, however they fail to grasp the contextual and grammaticalities and therefore, the results of the written piece can convey messages not intended.

Ah what the hell, go see for yourself what I'm saying.
Because I'm sick of typing.

WWW.ENGRISH.COM

Please share your ENGRISH experiences.  I'll soon add my own encounters.

My Korean student once said, "Teacher, there's so much stress!"

Maybe grammatically correct but it sounds definitely weird, unidiomatic.
