Japlish Sign.

Possibly quite some of non-Japanese can't easily find where the restrooms directed in the Engrish [wiki] sign are.

I won a plane a a XMas/State Fair kind of thing last night. It was made in China. Apparently the instruction boocklet was also printed in China. There were lines like "Pecharge the battery" and "Use a clear tape to repair any damages if find any". It even seemed like they were forcing their accent on me. Blades were spelled as "Brades".

The Japanese are strange. They don't learn English in conventional ways... Take this HALARIOUS video as an example:

You don't have to be Japanese to make a mess of English, a local mall bears the sign "This way to lift toilets".

Note that the answers are in the credits at the end of the video, except for 'T', for some reason.

R = Razorback
the font fits for it as well. Not that well known

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

It's safe to say R is something else; The sound you hear is a pig (look at the bottom right to see a tiny silhouette of one moving too)
