Un-correct exchange of language

November 23rd, 2001 · No Comments · Observations

I built a Chinese website not to long ago, with all those little squiggly Mandarin characters, and I had to go completely on faith that I was placing the text in a way that was sensible. I can’t read or write a word of mandarin, so really I have no idea if I was even close, but the client was happy so…

The point of this story is, because I fumbled around in a language I didn’t understand and fully expect to be made fun of, I think it’s within my rights to let out a little snicker at this… a poll I found on the Samsung Camera website. “Did you learn about the Samsung Camera through persons around?” “Many amazing UFO noodle land in my mouth, we having much party!”
