Engrish



Engrish is a term used for the bad English used on Japanese products and t-shirts.

In Japan, English is popular as a marketing tool. English is considered to be cool and trendy ... but no one seems to care how crazy or incorrect the English may be.

Engrish can sometimes be funny and entertaining for English speakers.
