暇つぶしにもなるし、英語の勉強にもなる！日本に住む（多分）アメリカ人から見て、オモロイ英語の間違えを写真と共に書いています。ネィティブ日本人から見ると「Pockeyって何が可笑しいのさ？！」と辞書を引いて、へぇーと思ったりしますよ。EngRishの定義は下記…（サイトより）

Q. What is Engrish?
A. Engrish can be simply defined as the humorous English mistakes that appear in Japanese advertising and product design.

Q. Why do the Japanese try to use so much English if they can’t do it right?
A. Most of the Engrish found on Engrish.com is not an attempt to communicate - English is used as a design element in Japanese products and advertising to give them a modern look and feel (or just to "look cool"). There is often no attempt to try to get it right, nor do the vast majority of the Japanese population (= consumers) ever attempt to read the English design element in question (the girl wearing the “Spread Beaver” shirt for example, had no idea what it said until a foreigner pointed it out to her). There is therefore less emphasis on spell checking and grammatical accuracy (note: the same can be said for the addition of Japanese or Chinese characters to hats, shirts and tattoos found in the US or Europe).
