While the city of Amsterdam is one of the most expensive cities in the world to park in, the money the city has collected surely never went to hiring one lousy translator to handle their English-language parking machines. Nope, they did it themselves and failed.
Hm, where to start? I picked three things, but there are [...]]]></description>

They surely meant to spell &#8217;sale&#8217;, but unfortunately, the magic didn&#8217;t happen.
&#8216;Uitverkoop&#8217; is still a really long word, and everywhere you look, you&#8217;ll see &#8217;sale&#8217;.
My inside joke about &#8217;sael&#8217; is cheap though: in old Dutch, many words were spelled with &#8216;ae&#8217; and eventually &#8217;shortened&#8217; to just an &#8216;a&#8217;, like with some streets names in Amsterdam [...]]]></description>

First, I am sorry for not posting so much. Thanks for all the corrections, don&#8217;t get mad, just tell me, I can take it and I will correct it.

		<description><![CDATA[Today, we also have a badly written article in Dunglish by De Pers.
The learner&#8217;s English short sentences lacking subordinate clauses, the double negatives, the nonsense and the clichés. Barf. The sarcastic tone doesn&#8217;t work in English at all.
To the author of this pathetic piece of journalism: Don&#8217;t write in English if you can&#8217;t (and you [...]]]></description>

Come on, tell me this fast food chain doesn&#8217;t have the means or brains to translate things for tourists into English in Amsterdam, I dare you!
My friend spotted three mistakes although I can squeeze out more. I&#8217;m not going to mention them all, it takes the fun out of it.

This is what I&#8217;m going to call a hat trick: this mess gets posted here, on Taalpuristen (the language purists) and if all goes well, SOS (the people who point out the bad use of spaces in Dutch words). 
Although my foreign eye spotted some bad Dutch spelling, I&#8217;ll stick to what I know.

Here is some Dunglish advertising for shops in downtown Amsterdam on the Kalverstraat, that big long busy street with shops that repeat themselves like the animated background in The Flintstones. The &#8216;haert&#8217; part is funny, because there&#8217;s this inside joke in Amsterdam that Dutch street names such as &#8216;Ruysdaelskade&#8217;, of which the &#8216;ae&#8217; is an [...]]]></description>

It was funfair time again on Dam square in Amsterdam right in front of the Royal Palace that&#8217;s being renovated although it&#8217;s only used twice a year (squeeze local politics in here). 
Free choice is a splendid thing and should never be implied lightly or without exclamation marks. The idea is you win and you [...]]]></description>
