My friends had sent me an email with some public display of signboards in China. There were some gross yet amusing errors in the spelling and wordings.
In Singapore, we are always so proud of our high standard of English. Hence, I was somewhat appalled at how the error in the above signboard could have gone undetected by the organisers concerned. What had happened to the proof reader/readers?
English is a language that may be easy to learn, but hard to master. An alphabet could alter the whole meaning of a word!
