I'm sure it will make everyone's day. BTW, I've read in Korea Times(or is it Herald) a while back, about a Canadian who runs a company that checks signs for Konglish and/or spelling errors. Considering the market, no doubt he is making a fortune. Maybe the authors here can post misspelled signs etc with pictures. I’m sure it will make everyone’s day.

"Clueless incorrect verb tensers". I look forward to it. As for the topic at hand, some new teachers to my area ate at a restaurant and thought what they were eating was fish - or that's what the Korean staff in their halting english told them. Before they left, however, they noticed a sign that had english translations. The translation for their dish said "Loach". Unaware of such a fish name, they wondered if, in fact, they'd eaten roach. Another teacher who'd been here awhile helped them out considerably by telling them that, yes, indeed, they had eaten roach ("It's a delicacy here, you know"). I decided to be nice and let them know that loach is not roach at all, but is actually a kind of paste made from kitten intestines. Ok, no, I was nice and actually told them the truth...
