Engrish

Does your frying pan fall apart from old age? Throw it away! Do not use mental tools for prolonging the life of the pan.


Engrish refers to grammatically incorrect variations of English, often found in East Asian countries. While the term may refer to spoken English, it is more often used to describe written English, for which problems are easier to identify and publicize.

Every once in a while at one of those One Dollar stores, I'll find a product that has an Engrish label.

That's what keeps me shopping at the One Dollar store.
