my initial reaction aside from laughing my butt off was wondering why it's even possible for someone to get a doctorate in chinglish... and that English should remain pure.

Then I realized that Chinglish is quite interesting and moreover legitimate from a linguistics point of view.

However, I do have some concerns.

I mean I get that English is a poetically vague language capable of mutations and that Chinglish gives insight to Chinese linguistics.... but as someone who speaks both I can't help but laugh and/or cringe every time I chance upon it.

It just feels like.... in(hexie)cest between step-siblings, biologically sound but very much unacceptable.

the culprit was in(hexie)cest.

What do you guys think?

Haha Lmao
i just love those wrongly translated signs.
like "slip and fall down carefully"

yeah.... it gets hilariously misleading. like... fragrant and spicy marxism.
Still, I think Chinglish has the potential to become its own separate language. Perhaps in our lifetime at this rate....

That's true. at this rate, chinglish could even be an official language in china :P

if it does.... frightening ramifications.

chinglish? u may say it singlish~

why singlish?

OMG..big word!

Maybe Chinglish won't become a separate language, but rather an acceptable standard out of sheer ubiquity.
