(5.00 out of 5)Engrish is Real
The Engrish contained in the pages of this site are real and true examples of flawed English. To the best of our knowledge, none of the images have been doctored in any way (other than to lower the resolution of the images).
Engrish.com Uses Only Original Material
Please note that Engrish.com uses only original samples of Engrish either sent in by individuals for use on Engrish.com or collected personally by the webmaster. Though it may not be an original concept, Engrish.com was the first major site on the Internet to introduce Engrish to the world (the word "Engrish" was coined by Engrish.com). Beware of Engrish "copycat" sites out on the internet that have taken content directly from Engrish.com without the approval of the site's content administrator. Unlike these sites, Engrish.com will never knowingly take any content from another website.
Take My Photo Down!
We respect your intellectual property rights. If you own any rights to images or works contained herein (and can provide us with proof of ownership) and would like Engrish.com to take a particular photograph off of the site, please write in to us and we will do our best to remedy the situation as soon as possible (by removing your photo if necessary). Please remember that this website is all in fun, and is not intended as a malicious attack on any person, group of people, company or product (see below).
No Offense Meant - Really!
Among the thousands of emails received by Engrish.com, there have been about one or two that have questioned the political correctness of the site. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I think that it is important to state here that Engrish.com was produced for entertainment purposes only - not to offend a particular race, people, or society. Anyone who has lived in Japan for an extended amount of time will tell you that Japanese corporations come up with some interesting and oftentimes funny English. The webmaster of this site lived in Japan for over 10 years and loves the people and culture. If anyone can point out anything in the site that is blatantly racist or otherwise uncool (and I agree with you), I will happily change the content of the site.
Thank you for your understanding!
- Submit Your Engrish (5.00 out of 5)
Engrish.com loves to receive new Engrish. Submitting your Engrish has never been easier! No pesky rules - just a couple of quick guidelines:
1. Engrish.com prefers JPEG / JPG formatted files at the highest resolution possible. Please do not ZIP your files (any ".zip" files will be mistaken for a virus and automatically deleted). All text is welcome.
2. Try to surf as much of Engrish.com as possible to see if your Engrish is already here (you may want to try the search feature at the top of each page).
3. Email all submissions to webmaster-AT-engrish.com (note to net novices: subsitute "-AT-" with an "@" mark) When sending in Engrish, please also take note of the following:
-
Images and text sent to Engrish.com via email are sent with the understanding that they may be used somewhere on the website, but there is no guarantee that any one submission will make it to the site.
-
Engrish submissions may be edited or formatted to the discretion of the webmaster.
-
By sending in images, you warrant that you are the author and sole owner of the copyright for that particular image or images and that they do not violate the rights of any third party or are unlawful in content.
-
Engrish.com will do its best to credit those who wish to make it known that they submitted a particular Engrish phenomenon, but on occasion names get lost in the shuffle. On the other hand, if you do not want your name posted on the site, please state so when submitting the Engrish.
-
Engrish.com may use photos submitted for PR purposes to help promote the site.
-
Please note that the webmaster cannot always write back to everyone all the time.
