THE JOYS OF ENGRISH
by Steven Caires

Penguin 2006
Softcover
ISBN 0141029293

Strange and wonderful misuses of the English language.
From the back cover: Welcome to the world of Engrish, which finds its greatest expression in Japanese and Chinese signs, products, manuals, t-shirts and restaurant menus. Now a cultural phenomenon that has taken the world by storm, Engrish consists of curious misspellings, doubtful abbreviations and jarring word-for-word translations. Fancy a Pocari Sweat soft drink or a Collon chocoltae bar? Or perhaps you need some of that Horny face cream? THE JOYS OD ENGRISH is a hugely entertaining collection of the funniest and most bizarre examples of this delightful alternate-reality version of the English language.
Please make sure you enjoy your pleasant with vigour!
