Many of you may have noticed that my Chinglish postings have pretty much become extinct from the blog. Reason is, after a month or so of living in Shanghai, sightings of improper use or mispellings of English words became commonplace, not really standing out on my blog-worthiness scale. Recently, however, I happened across a huge neon Chinglish sign in our neighborhood that really made me chuckle:
I can imagine the phone conversation that preceeded the making of this sign...
Business owner: So, I want the sign to read: Cutting Edge Hair and Salon.
Sign maker: Did you say Cuttingedge Hairing Salon?
Business owner: Yes, that's correct, Cutting Edge Hair and Salon.
Sign maker: OK, Cuttingedge Hairing Salon it is!
