@MSalt69 Does anyone here ever casually give a heads-up to the companies (while explaining in Japanese) about Engrish? Would you do that?

@WinningSiempre I have at times, when I think the error is potentially dangerous or discourages customers. -
@WinningSiempre Like the time the curry rice place described one of the dishes as "beef gristle curry"... -
@MSalt69 Haha! But I know that YOU know that it would not be surprising if gristle WAS on the menu in Japan. You know the adventurous items. -
@WinningSiempre It's the dish called 牛すじ (gyūsuji) which strictly speaking is "beef tendon" but they could pick a better description.Translated from Japanese by Bing -

@judittokyo@TopTVCameraman It's not just JAL. Lots of large Japanese orgs have a half-hearted approach to presentation. Esp in English. - View other replies

@MSalt69@TopTVCameraman And they hire terrible people to check their English text & pay a lot for bad service. I'm so sorry for#Japanese -
@judittokyo@TopTVCameraman I'd do it properly and for a very reasonable rate :)

@MSalt69 just found one even less inspiring: an asteroid's going to "narrowly" miss earth. https://twitter.com/SBSNews/status/556979721104154624 …

@andrewjgrimm You know, for this one, as long as it misses I'm going to forgive the bad grammar.

#JAL 【引用符】を（強調目的の）鉤括弧の位置に用いるのは誤用。誰かが言っている意味で、実際はそうでない含み。 “@MSalt69: the least confidence-inspiring use…? pic.twitter.com/kGOHK6pjZe”@judittokyoTranslated from Japanese by Bing

@MSalt69@JapanBlogList Please enjoy the fright.. -
@MSalt69@sanverde At least they didn't put quotes around "maintenance" as well, that would have looked super-sketchy.@BuckedbytheStar -

@MSalt69 it's not Engrish - they're writing English just like native speakers! http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/ -
@MSalt69@DMC1982Nice like when I flew in the Middle East and the pilot was telling us what time we would land "inshallah"
