"Engrish"

Wednesday. I ought to start a Wordless Wednesday as many of you do. I never have much time to post on Wednesday. Oh well, how about some English foibles I found this week. Those are always kind of fun.



This is what I found on a package of dog potty sheets. I've only ever kept big dogs so I don't even know if these are sold in the States. You know, sort of like thin diaper material that absorbs at the bottom of the tray that the indoor dogs use... Now tell me. Why was this phrase put on this package? What were they trying to say and what does this have to do with doggie liners? And with the raspberry constituents, are they expecting you to style your hair or your eye? (Yes, doggie liners.)


This is a sign I see when driving to and from the city. It is for a hair salon. Excuse me if I don't go there to get my hair styled. I wonder if they know what Oops means. Oops like in "Oops, I cut off too much of your hair there." or Oops like in "Sorry. Do you want to take your ear home in a plastic bag?"
