Description
"Chinglish" humorously documents English language mistakes in Chinese signage and products—a cultural phenomenon that began disappearing as the government worked to correct language errors before the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Chinglish offers a humorous and insightful look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. A long-standing favorite of English speaking tourists and visitors, Chinglish is now quickly becoming a culture relic: in preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the Chinese government was determined to wipe out incorrect English usage.
