Hello from Tokyo, Japan.
In the US, I’m very into grammar (read: asshole). I’ll correct somebody using the incorrect version of your/you’re or their/there. When I was eleven, I wrote my local news channel because the sports anchor used the phrase “the Orioles did good” instead of the proper “did well.”
So you can imagine what a fun time I’m having with all of the “Engrish” seen around town. Especially since a new trend with kids here is to have large type English almost-sentences written across their t-shirts, such as “MAKE MY HAPPY.”
Anna has to stop me from taking pictures of every sign that makes me laugh because she wants to “actually see the city.”
