Dunglish

Did someone bring their German spy decoder? Every non Anglo-Saxon nation makes different mistakes in English and this was thoroughly made by a German. A Dutchman spotted it, wanting to share and show that maybe Dunglish isn’t all that bad sometimes. This photo is a thing of beauty.

It’s also odd that being in the Netherlands, the expectations of speaking English seems to be higher than what my friends tell me about Germany. If the German who wrote this writes this way to their clients, well, I can’t imagine it actually amounting to anything. They do get points for not capitalizing any nouns, as they do in German.

It’s basically the same idea as Dunglish, but this time it’s English with a nasty Chinese twist, commonly referred to as Chinglish. So Happy Year of the Rat and yes this is an excuse to have a good laugh at the expense of another bastard language.

The rest of these blocks are truly mind boggling. They are supposed to help Chinese children learn English, but it’s way too out there to be of any use. Grab a beverage and take 10 minutes to check out this link, you won’t regret it!
