i don't understand

You need to learn Engrish.

And I thought Engrish only applied to Japanese dealings.

Well you obviously haven't been to Engrish.Com if that still throws you for a loop. 8-P

P.S. Not trying to harp on or make fun of any one, but that stuff is seriously funny. Hell I can't even speak Japanese so they do better then I would.

Damn... and I thought it was simply that because old VW beetles weren't luxury vehicles, it was the license plate that was the biggest feature. Hence, truth in advertising.

Time to go back to reading stuff that is funny...

This seems to be similar to the native ability to understand the gist of Yoda-speak. IMHO, this implies there may be considerable flexability in the parsing of natural languages and plasticity in the language areas of a human brain. But, this idea is not new.

OBtopic: A shuttle

• costs $2.1 billion (new)
  
• weights 16,000 lbs (dry dock, no payload)

Being that the same salt occurs naturally in seaweed and is used frequently in both Chinese and Japanese cooking, I would expect that the Japanese and Chinese should be raving idiots after thousands of years of use if it were actually toxic.

You say they're not?

Like everything else online, there's a engrish gallewy here

In case anyone hasn't posted it already; there's an entire website devoted to the engrish "language".
engrish get now for you!

No, it's not English, it must be Engrish

BTM

Not an english major, but you would make a hell of an engrish major!

There's a funny example of engrish in the pages that you referred to here: "Because of Japanese reguration isn't suitable to develop new airplane."

More like the difference between English and Engrish. :-)

Well said. This website can't demonstrate your point any better.

The funny thing is that Japanese people will wear clothing with English phrases and not know what they mean -- one girl wore a t-shirt that said, and I'm not kidding, "Miss Urine Tester." Worth a look.

PR: It has come to our attention that many of our customers and critics are not satisfied with the review of our product as we previously shipped to them and received with deafed ears. The staff of www.extremetech.com have mis-interpreted Trident's XP4 product and have mis-applied our technology. In our initial PR Announcment of the XP4, we were received by listeners that our product will whipe-out the competition. Despite our best efforts to contact the staff of www.extremetech.com before they released the results, we have received much criticism and have now been given opportunity to make clear our statements. Our initial PR statment confirms that our product was not intended to whipe-out the competition; we meant that the XP4 will whipe the ass of our competitors. We understand the definite language barrier of our PR staff and the general international public. Over the past 6 months, Trident has become one of the greatest suppliers of industrial sand paper and the most abrasive toilette paper in the history of indoor plumbing of developed nations. The Trident XP4 is intended to provide the most dis-comfort in our competitors as its only use is to whipe their ass in the most abrasive fassion possible. We thankyou for your concern and please feel free to purchase more of Trident's innovative products.

I thought this information should be re-layed to the slashdot community as it clears-up much of the incorrectly perceived statements. You know what happens with the SNAFU theorom these days...

Sincerily,
Bob Grover

no, this is engrish.

Rooks Rike a candidate very good for www.engrish.com!

I'd be more interesting in hearing a Japanese person explain what's up with Engrish.

Don't you mean Engrish?

This is the funniest thing I've seen on the 'net since Engrish. Plus, it manages to combine the usual trio of Steve Jobs, frozen ponies breathing through their manes, and pig-latin in a way that makes the combination seem fresh and unusual.

I gotta go tape up my ribs. Ouch. Thanks for the post. Ouch.

er, you might like this site

We have these standing in Belgium for years and years...

They're great at the middle of the night (if the local Pakistani is out of his shop:)

Well, I used to look at technology in the opposite way: US, Europe, Japan, and wonder if this new way of progress through the world is a new trend.

maybe it isn't: http://www.engrish.com

Actually its called Engrish, for more crazy cool japaneese english try check out this site

"...I've been enjoying steady work as a writer since January."

...

"I'm feel happy and proud."

Writer for engrish.com perhaps?

EngRish anyone?

"Just a reminder that are networks need to be as secure on the inside as they should be on the outside." Shouldn't that be "Our"? Is Slashdot partnering with Engrish.com now?

".. with full compatibility with Office 200 and Word" .. I realize it was a typo in the topic - but it reminds me of all those knockoff burned SVCD's where half the text is misspelled, or is written in Engrish. What's next - Windows 89?

"Extremely has the individuality pronunciation, the vibration, the flash reminder function."

So how extreme are their vibrations? :-P

For some great examples of (Japanese) engrish, go to engrish.com.

Sounds a little like Engrish.

They probably have a PR department that speaks very good Engrish.

Actually I used to read the Taiwanese motherboard manuals both for the information and for the really funny Engrish.

If you read on the solar lab front page, it says "let's think with us..." In that vein, I would like to offer a link...

engrish

'nuff said.

Me using PDA: "So, how are you?"

Translation: Me love you long time.

I'm not sure if it will be released soon, but when it is,
ALL YOUR BASE ARE (most certainly) BELONG TO US.

Got Engrish?

engrish!!!!

Newly Tasty Improved Enhanced in german

hehe sounds like engrish to me..

Even lukewarm fusion would be satisfy me.

I think it's much worse the other direction.

This sounds like a great idea, but the web page is useless unless you can read Japanese. Maybe they could have done it in Engrish:

"Many happy video for your tape with iMac! I am disrespectful to commercials. Can you not see that I am serious?"

(No offense to our Japanese friends...)

PS: this might be posted twice since the submit button looks a hell of a lot like the preview button

Even the stuff on engrish.com makes more sense then that

Have a look at this site: www.engrish.com. You'll find plenty of fun for the annoying week-end coming-up... It's even worst than CowboyNeal English!

So who wants to be the first to submit this one to engrish.com?

In Sega and Smilebit, including the software and the installation method which are opened to this HP, I do not support at all and it does not become precocious.

Gotta love Engrish!

>That's my karma line.

Sorry... which line exactly? If its my sig, I only changed it yesterday when I got bored reading this.

Case in point: Japanese Engrish.
