For the love of Engrish!

Engrish is commonly known as the Japanese misuse of English, directly relating to their common mistake of switching the “R” and “L” in English words.  This term has grown to encapsulate other east Asian countries English mistakes as well.

Here are some of my Engrish.com favorites:

Hope you enjoy Engrish as much as I have!
