For a country with so many billion people you'd think every factory would have someone in it who can bloody translate properly.

My fave was always "Beware Greasy corner where lurk evil skid demon"

or on a set of kitchen knives: "Keep out of children".

I recently bought a Chinese wok which came with a set of instructions every bit as unintelligible as these examples. It was not a cheap item, and I was a bit miffed that the manufacturer did not see fit to provide a competently written booklet.

I showed it to my son, and his theory was that it was a managing director's son job. After all, everybody knows he speaks excellent English, and who would dare to contradict?

If the maker or a wok needs to provide an instruction book they've failed.

Why would a Wok need instructions?

Ironic that Brits - who generally speak nothing but English (unless they have an immigrant background) - poke fun at foreigners’ bad English. People should have some perspective and perhaps humility.
