Spread the word.



My publisher, Gibbs Smith, sent me a bit of merchandising which is now extensively used all over Singapore (thanks for modelling, WR).

Receive your own "Chinglish - Found in Translation" bag for sending in 5 unique Chinglish beauties!
Files have to be >300kb and different from the ones on display. Mail box is at chinglish at olliradtke.de. Thanks.

Update Aug 16:

Thanks everybody for the overwhelming support and many new Chinglish beauties! All bags are gone.
Please continue to support the cause of chinglish.de!

Cheers,

yes, I am. And there sure is a thing called "Denglish" (a combination of Deutsch and English).
Just think of the supposedly English word for cell phone which is used all over Germany: handy. So on a Lufthansa flight you are told to "please turn your handies off" ...

Looking forward to your contributions!

Best,

olr.
