Asians don't have past and present tense like we do so when they translate it comes across like that. Funnily enough I did the same thing when I was trying to translate my english into japanese ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:18:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29916&PID=838681&title=wow-talk-about-bad-english#838681 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29916&PID=838617&title=wow-talk-about-bad-english#838617 Author: emz

Haha classic!

We have a photo of a tourist sign (engraved on graphite rock) from Thailand, saying 'have a nice and safety trip'. It was made by their tourism council, which I had assumed would have at least ONE person who could speak proper English to check over these things ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:22:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29916&PID=838617&title=wow-talk-about-bad-english#838617 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29916&PID=838576&title=wow-talk-about-bad-english#838576 Author: MissAngel
