After carefully choosing the name of one's business, one should pay as careful close attention to the design of one's business logo - to make sure the English doesn't have inappropriate implications.   No comments - have your say!

The Konglish Photo Blog   Improving English by looking at English mistakes from the makers of The Korean Blog List       The Konglish Photo Blog The Korean Blog List Korean-English Language Exchange               About the Konglish Photo Blog   The Konglish Photo Blog is not about laughing at the English mistakes of common Koreans. I speak Korean as a second language, and I make mistakes every second word! I speak English as a first language, I make mistakes every third word! No one is perfect at English, not even native speakers.   But.   If I intended to write and print a menu, sign, huge banner, shop display board, advertisement, or any such big public item in Korean, the very least I'd do is ask a Korean native speaker to check it first!   The Konglish Photo Blog is about laughing at companies who do not even bother to check their English before plastering it over subway trains, on 20 foot banners, on flashing neon signs. At companies who didn't bother to spend 100,000won, or the trifling amount it would have cost to get a native speaker to check their Konglish over, and instead display their mistakes boldly and with confidence.   I hope native readers will be entertained, and that Korean readers will take the opportunity to compare the Konglish with our "It should say" version, to help improve their English.
