Engrish Gold

This will be a very quick post, but I wanted to share this with everyone. For those who don't know "Engrish" is a slang term that refers to a bad translation of English from another language (for example Korean to English).

I understand language is difficult and mistakes are bound to happen, it's just that when they do they are often as hilarious as they are confusing. This was the exact text from the back of a girls jacket (she was sitting in front of my in Cell Biology class):

----------
Anyone Who Doesh't
Believe In Miracles
Is Not A Realist

Scine1986,desige and 218
Tlreatest victory has been to be able to live withyself
To ascent my shortcom ngs andthose ofthe
----------

That is exactly how it looked (bad grammar, spelling, spacing, and meaning). I wish I could have taken a picture for proof, but that would have been very obvious.

I will keep my eye out for more Engrish to share with you all!

  2. Wow I'm glad I read the comments to find that site. You should definitely hand embroider yourself a cool jacket like that.

    1. If I ever learn to embroider, this will be my first project.
