During my three years in Yokosuka, Japan I noticed the 'bad English' in print everywhere. I asked myself if anyone proofread any of this before production. But wait; it gets stranger. I vividly recall trying to convince a girlfriend that we do indeed have a motorcycle called Ninja and a mini suv called Samurai. I had to bring her to the Naval Base to prove it. She was amazed. Then she proceeded to try to make me believe that there was never ninja in Japan. She said it was all made up by some idiot. Keep in mind that when a Japanese national taught us Japanese we were taught to use 'feminine speech' instead of gender accurate terminology. When I understood this I understood everything. Everytime I saw engrish I just smiled and offered no corrections.
