English is a tough language to master. The spelling system alone is notoriously inconsistent and tough to grasp for both native speakers and new learners. We can only imagine what it’s like to encounter English spelling, grammar, and punctuation with no prior experience with the language.
In this type of scenario, taking a shortcut of any kind - usually through online translation tools like Google Translate - is an understandable temptation. The only thing is, these tools don’t always work very well, and if you rely on them too much, you may end up in a pretty hilarious situation. This is exactly what has happened with the authors of these hilarious public signs. Scroll down to get a good laugh!
