Engrish - PowerPoint Presentation
Engrish is the name for funny English words which appear on oriental signs. They are the result of Japanese, Korean or Chinese companies misspelling English words, for example 'No Snorkelling' instead of 'No Smoking'. Another common occurrence is malapropisms, where the word is spelt correctly, but it's the wrong word for the context, for example, 'Flesh Juice' instead of 'Fruit Juice'.
Sign-writers wish to appear bi-lingual, but the result is a funny English phrase. To the oriental readers, the Engrish words are meaningless because most ordinary people don't speak English. The sign-writers have no idea that the English translation is flawed.
