Wait does that say "Birthday Plesent"? What?

Wow! It's not even my birthday anymore, and I'm still getting stuff!

That's "Engrish". Japanese often don't tell the difference between 'l' and 'r' .

That's what I thought.

And all the Chinese jokes I've heard involved L's and R's.
(Like the joke about "Cadaracs" and "Rincoln Continentals").

Don't forget "Flied Lice!"

That reminds me of the scene in A Christmas Story where they go to the Chinese restaurant. It's my favorite scene from the movie:

A Christmas Story Chinese Restaurant Scene

Omg, Shiyonasan, that was hilarious!
It reminds me of a time when I was at a Chinese restaurant, and I was asking a lady about some candy. She kept saying it was "wawa". I eventually figured out it was guava. It seems they can't get that word right in general because my friend had the same problem at an Asian Market.

Yes it is interesting how many different non-English speaking people have trouble saying different English words.

I wonder if non-English speakers remark about any English speaking person having trouble with certain words from their language?

[At this point I wonder if anyone wants to wish Astro Boy a belated happy birthday, if they haven't already wished him a happy birthday?]

I

They probably laugh at us when we go to their countries lol

It's a gift.

Yeah, guys, if anyone hasn't said Happy Birthday to Astro feel free!

Let's petition Google to make a special doodle next year for both Astro's birthday and Tezuka's birthday!
