Nice site Bill. I have lived in the far east for many years now and I often see examples like this.

I think it comes down to a matter of 'face'. Japanese and Chinese dont like their English to be corrected.

A New Zealand friend of mine worked in the International Dept of a martial arts magazine in Japan. He was a fluent speaker, reader and write of Japanese. His translations into Japanese were often corrected. He saw this as no problem.

However when he offered advice on translations from Japanese to English his colleagues were offended.

Japlish as we called it is common. My refridgerator when I lived in Japan had the English name "The Comfortable Wide"

I now see quite a bit of Chinglish.

Next door to where I live is a new housing estate called 'Gaudiness Mansions', also nearby is an address to die for, Wanke Villa's.

In Chinese taxis there are signs in English (as well as Chinese) stating that 'drunkards, schitzofrenics (sic) must be accompanied by an adult'
