Chinglish

A recent NYT article talked about how china launched a massive operation to clean up the language on all the sign boards which was not exactly in line with the English as the world knows it. China has moved in the recent years from being a closed society to one that is trying to embrace people from around the world - an effort that is evident in all walks of life in china. I picked up a few during my stay in china too - its amusing and adds for some comic relief on the streets of china only because the rest of the world has grown up learning a form of English with a different flavor. I thought -- Most times it conveyed the message and made us smile too!!
