    Default Anyone familiar with "Engrish"?

    Yes, Engrish the Japanese take on that tricky language we take for granted....English. One of my cousins teaches English over there (she comes over here occasionally to) teach Japanese here...anyway, I got sent some of these by her from a website. Enjoy!

    Cool Re: Anyone familiar with "Engrish"?

    I don't have glamorous pictures, but these excerpts from the 1970 Toyota Corona Mark II owner's manual demonstrate what happens when Engrish "words get in the way" of car care:

    ACCESSING THE REAR SEAT:

    "To enter the rear of the Hardtop, pull up incline adjusting lever to move the back rest of the codriver's seat forward."

    (You mean it takes two people to drive a '70 Corona Mark II?)

    MAINTAINING YOUR AIR CLEANER:

    "Do not blow element with high pressure."

    (High pressure WHAT?)

    SELF ADJUSTING BRAKES:

    "During this auto-adjusting operation a mechanical sound may be heard, but this is not a sign of brake defect."

    (One only hopes it isn't your car rolling back into the car behind you.)

    APPEARANCE CARE:

    "Your car should not be parked in direct exposure to sunlight for longer periods."

    (So you can park in direct exposure to sunlight for only a few moments at a time?)

    keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
