Now there's some folks who need to work on their ad copy!
Someone should send that to this website: www.engrish.com

If you enjoy these types of fractured English, explore the
site a bit. It's very funny.

The blurb says it is like it is not even there, which
doesn't sound like it offers much support.

I check it every day (no weekend updates) -- sometimes it's
hilarious.

I got my fill on engrish when I worked for chinese people in
a retail computer store.

My first day, I was working on a repair, and the boss
suggested: "Why not try derete some fires?" Now, looking at
it on the screen, it might seem easy enough to figure out;
but vocally, it didn't make any sense whatsoever.

He had to repeat it, and then explain it, before I
understood that he was suggesting I free up space on the
hard drive by deleting stuff.

When we were going to ship a computer, which was rare, we
used the "grue gun" to make the ribbon cables stay in place.
We also used it for self defense against Grues, because if
you have moved into a dark place and it is pitch black, you
are likely to be eaten by a grue.

especially if you're in a maze of twisty tunnels, all alike.

Would your boss have referred to the use of a grue gun
against grues as fighting fire with fire?
