| I think it's a very noble cause you are trying to pursue. It reminds me of an article I read a few weeks ago in the Shanghai Daily. The article mentioned the fact that the Shanghai Local Government intends to get rid of all Chinglish, Misspellings etc. They would consult Chinese experts and overseas (probably meaning Chinese who returned to China after some studies abroad) Chinese experts to make sure the English signs would be perfect. I missed one thing in the article, they didn't mention consulting native speakers. I am Dutch and still in the process of improving my English, evenmore I dare asking people to correct me if I am wrong. And that happens a lot. If the local government would adopt such an approach or maybe even pay a well educated Englishman there might be a chance things will improve. |
