I love Clinglish signage. I used to have a collection of photos taken around NYC Chinatown with English signs written by a presumably Asian person who doesn’t have a full grasp of the English language yet. Now, my heart goes out to people have who have to learn English as a second language. It’s a pretty tough language to learn with all its rules and tougher still, with all its exceptions to these rules. So it is with endeared amusement when I giggle at these signs that I found in a Japanese store in Houston.
