Language is art, interpretations also, mistakes too
Jump to Comments
I laugh when my friends get mad at the errors-horrors within the English messages in Chinese land, here in HK.
To make mistake is one of the most creative things we are licensed to by God Almighty - it’s my thought all the time, and I laugh…
I love language mistakes
they show brave people and good hearts
they show the sensibility and the desire to change and to evolve
to transfom our societies and ourself.
Do not stop to mistaken yourself ever! And to show it! And to smile at it!

.. Sometimes the words can be magic, and open gates in the consciousness, never expected…

really - it makes driving fun on road; trucks have “Air Break” written instead of “Air Brake” and you’ll find Wetter Tankers, Bush Stops and many more.
I think innocent mistakes are good fun. Also, the sheepish look the person wears when told of his/her mistake is huge fun.
