That is so hilarious. "Translate Server Error"

China has got be to really funny in their English attempts while the Koreans look and sound silly to westerners. There are many international business agents and consultants who specialize in translation as to make deals happen so China is more geared to get the English, but not without a few hilarious mistakes only robots could make.

LOL

It's a sad, sad thing that Spiff's avatar is more acceptable than yours mises. Please change that avy as I want to pluck my eyes out for fear that the thing on his lip with somehow 'ghost in the shell' it's way onto my face.

Spliff's avatar reminds me of a criminal or a hobo. Mises avatar reminds me of the movie "Men in Black" where you expect some flies to come out of him. That thing on his face looks like one of those insects from the movie, or it's just my imagination running with me...

China will be the place, if they have those 200,000, or however many it was, cheerleaders for the olympics take English classes. That could be an even better job than teaching English lessons for the Korean Air stewardesses.


sorry, I mean flight attendants.... or air mattresses, if they prefer. Cool

Is the lack of qualified teachers the reason for this?
