Interesting English Notice in Japan
The other day, I found an interesting English notice in the restroom of a drugstore in Japan. "Please don't let a great deal of paper run together." When I first saw it, I was confused. Paper run? What kind of paper? Run where? What does it mean? After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that the notice was probably trying to say: "To prevent clogging, please do not flush excessive amounts of toilet paper." Many English notices in Japan are translated directly from Japanese, which sometimes creates funny or confusing expressions. If you visit Japan, you will probably find many interesting examples of "Japanese English" like this. They can be quite amusing and often make great conversation topics!
