I saw a news program on this and how they are not having a very easy time getting the meaning of our words and phrases just right. Some of the things they were putting on signs was just hilarious.
HAHAHAHA!!! I love these! Being a writer working on translation at the moment, these kinds of things always make me laugh. The 1st rule of translation is have a NATIVE speaker do the translating ;-)
RYC--I have been sending the responses to their emails for about a week and have not had any kicked back yet because of a bad email address.Don't know if they are reading them -but someone is getting them. :) Right after I posted the post I got one from a lady who said she was a Christian and wove all kind of scripture into her email. That makes me angry. That she would speak a lie and use our Gods name in her email. Grrrrr!

We have a book that translates common English phrases into other languages. It is hilarious. Got Milk? Translates in Chinese to "are you lactating?"
Haha, I need to get me one of those for my front steps!!
LOL! Sometimes signs they put up are such oxymorons! Great post.
LOL.. ok I'll have to remember that next time I slip. LOL
Happy WW
Love it!
