It seems the kids that are taking lessons and going on to careers aren't absorbing quite as much as they should.
It's a mystery as to why signs like this happen, when you consider that the sign painter could find a foreigner to correct his grammar and spelling as easily as he could find a pot of kimchi.
But it does make our experience in Korea richer, and full of nuance and texture.
In the coming weeks, Flint and I will be passing on that experience to you.

ReplyDeleteSpell check makes the mistakes even stupider.
My favorites signs or Korean misprints are as follows;
