The new Engrish

Japan has come up with a crafty way to get rid of all the Engrish in their country (well the written kind anyway), and convince the English speaking western world that they’ve fixed that problem. The solution? French! There are a million shops with signs up in French, proudly advertising (I think) what’s inside. Of course me with my amazing French skills just goes “oh yes, how charming, ‘shlurpideegurpbooble.’ That’s fantastic French” and that’s that. I’d love to find someone that can speak French to give me their opinion on this wonderful new language they have no doubt discovered. Probably Flench or something of that sorts.
Luckily the previous Engrish era has left us some beautiful momentos to remember it by… “Open AM7 to PM09:00.” Quite aesthetically pleasing really. Maybe it’s Zen.
There’s a hot water dispenser (for lack of a better word) behind me with some choice Engrish on the top, but I couldn’t be bothered to go look it up. <>
