Funny Translations.....

Here in India there are so many funny sayings that you come across. Some are simple miss-spelling. Others are grammatical errors, and the best is the use of words that changes the meaning of the message. The last happens mostly due to 'translation' mistakes.

This is by no means to make fun of the locals here.... I actually have a high regard for them b/c they make an effort to communicate in English even though it is not there first language.... bless their heart!!

So today my friend sent me this email that was hilarious! It shows some examples of these grammatical/word selection errors!! The best part... they are found in Gujarat... This is the region/state that we come from!!!
