50 Times People Spotted Hilariously Incorrect English Texts And They Just Had To Share Them In This Group (New Pics)
English is not an easy language to learn. An embarrassingly high number of native speakers frequently make spelling and grammar mistakes such as confusing there, their and they’re (I'm cringing just thinking about it...) or you’re and your. Yet somehow, English has become a global language, with about 400 million people speaking it as their first language and around 55 countries speaking it as their second language. But learning a new language is always a challenge; there is no way to avoid awkward grammar mistakes and sounding like a toddler in the beginning. When we meet non-native speakers, we must be non-judgmental and sympathetic. We understand how difficult English is, so we appreciate any effort to speak it.
It’s a different ball game when we encounter typos in written texts though, right? Then it’s fair game to laugh. (I mean, menus and signs don’t have feelings, do they?) Let us introduce you to the Engrish subreddit. With over 668k members, this group is dedicated to finding the most hilariously incorrect English texts from around the world. Anything from bumper stickers to product descriptions can be found on Engrish, and they are painfully hilarious to fluent speakers. So enjoy this list we’ve compiled at Bored Panda of some of the best English faux pas from around the world, and be sure to check out our last publication on the same topic “hear”.

"You wouldn't steal a handbag. You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a baby. You wouldn't shoot a policeman. And then steal his helmet. You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet. And then send it to the policeman's grieving widow. And then steal it again! Downloading fish is stealing. If you do it, you will face the consequences."

some are funny, some are just people trying to speak a second language which has really tricky rules, and some are just not public signs but private exchanges, in which bad english isn't really surprising. So... not all of them belong here.
