Practice Your English....Help Homeless Animals
Well, I bumped into this funny ad posted on the wall at campus. Of course, it struck me for sure. 'Wait...what?
I wonder what it means...^^ of course I was laughing out of my curiosity as to how we could communicate with animals....to improve our English.^^
hehehe..it turned out that...it was ( I think ) deliberately written in such a way to attract people into reading it. And it DID.
just like what I did. I even took a picture out of it. hahahahahaha
Well, it turned out that we could meet other English speaking friends (a.k.a. pet lovers)while taking care of the homeless animals at some sort of animal shelter.

Signophile 'I love funny signs'
Another hunting time for me:
Wait.......I just want to make it clear..that I am not good at English...NO, AND I AM NOT ....simply because I love hunting the grammatically incorrect or misspelled English does not necessarily mean that my English is good, let alone perfect. Never have I had the slightest idea that my English is good. Moreover, I am not an English native speaker....^^
So, I love taking pictures or jotting down what I found funny when it comes to English.
I found a lot of (endless I guess) misspleed (on purpose) English in Indonesia. Now that I live in Korea, I also keep on doing what I like......
This is the fun part of being always on the go.....^^
So, the other day..I also found some of these funny stuffs ...

So, the other day..I also found some of these funny stuffs ...
so, let's see what's funny right here:
- take care the drop ( the drop?? what is this 'drop')?
- for an accident happended (?) (it's obvious)
- by your fault? (of course it would be our own fault^^)
I guess for those of you who might have interest in grammar, you may find it a bit shaky...in the way that the 'gerund' is missing right here. Well, I am not good at English, but...I guess it should've been like ' After buying....'
and then....it does not stop there....coz I do not understand the whole point of the sentence..
after a long consideration, I understand that what it meant was....
After buying a ticket, please use your ticket (to get into the park or to take the ride, etc)...I guess so...
hmmmm.....a 'transfortation'
a transfortation of our ancestors??? what...is a 'of' or 'for'?
Anyone can help?
Ouch, I do not want it to happen to me..^^
It sounds like 'May God Bless You'
since the word 'may' is put right in front of the sentence...
It looks like...... hoping for something to happen...^^
unnecessary usage of auxiliary verb ' may + can ???

Retale and Dalevari?
I bumped into this intrinsically eye-catching phrase on the signboard of a food store in Ansan. I just finished praying at the Islamic Center..and got out of the building when I saw this funny sign. It made me wonder and stand still....really..simply because I wondered if I was the one who might not understand what it meant. I asked myself whether this would be English...or another language that I did not know of.
I kept scrutinizing on the sign board until I came to a conclusion that it IS English...judging from the words above it. So, it tickled me and served me right.... I could not help but smiling when I realized that what it meant by Retale was supposed to be 'retail' and the other one dalevari was supposed to be 'delivery'
It cracked me up...but one thing for sure...It made me giggle and had a nice time the whole afternoon.^^
I would never forget it.
It is a good thing to see and behold.
Since I am not into linguistics...I do not know how to address this phenomenon...what to call this kind of misspelled words....
Anyone knows?
One thing for sure..it is an interesting thing to see and learn.
But..wait..should there be anyone who can tell me that it might be a different language: that is not English?
