Take Care Knock Heads « Simpson’s Paradox

In Beijing, it’s hard to get away from the Olympic improvements. I think the changes are somewhere between using the good china for company, and completely reinventing your wardrobe, habits and personality to attract some guy from history class. Not that I ever did that I’m seeing more and more English around town, and English-language menus, maps and information are supposed to be readily available in Beijing before the Olympics. Unfortunately, I’m afraid these Chinglish attempts will cause more confusion.

About

The purpose of this blog is to explore the use of the English language in global commerce. For many companies in non English-speaking countries, translation of marketing materials and product documentation is often done by non-native speakers who may not have complete mastery of the English language. This often results in broken or even incorrect English. With any language there also are nuances that can be lost in translation. English-speaking consumers can be sensitive to these subtle clues and may judge a product or service based on the quality of the English that is used by the company.
