I wonder who taught English to the person who wrote this:

Actually it �s great.
It �s a julienne peeler, for shredding thin strips of vegetables.
I�m not sure that a translator would make those kinds of spelling mistakes. |

I agree with the drunk part. What I don �t understand how companies don �t hire people to do these things properly. It wasn �t made in Israel - it �s an import, so you �d think they �d care that people could read it.
I drives me crazy when I see signs here in English with mistakes. There used to be a big sign at one of the beaches here that said, WELCOME TO THE BITCH. |

If you enjoy this kind of thing I warmly recommend "engrish.com". It is an absolutely hilarious site. It started with real "English" signs found in Japan but by now it expanded to other parts of the world. It is divioded into all kinds of categories such as food packaging, public signs, comercials, you name it. No matter how depressed I may be, I have tears rolling down my eyes with laughter after a few minutes on that site!!
Please note it is �engrish � with an �r � (I once looked for it in vain spelled correctly...) |

In case you don �t understand the title of engrish.com, it is because the Japanese traditionally have trouble distinguishing between "l" and "r" when speaking English.
There is a new post every day there, so you can visit it for a daily laugh.
