This is one of my favorite sites. www.engrish.com. I wonder: are there similar phenomena in China and Korea? (i.e. Funny misuse of English language). Also, am I correct in assuming that Koreans do not have the problem of mixing up R’s and L’s?
Update: answer to my question from a reader
“In reference to your question regarding R’s and L’s with Koreans. Have you not seen old korean men in parking lots shouting to those who are backing out, “o-righ! o-righ!”? Sadly, we, too, share the infirmities common to asians when pronouncing L’s.”

iPhone Apps for Preschoolers
We (i.e. the creators of AllLookSame.com) developed a series of iPhone apps for preschool kids. (My wife developed the characters and I did the coding.) Our own 4-year old daughter has been enjoying them. They are now available on Apple's App Store. You can search for "bitskis" on your iPhone, or visit the official website at bitskis.com.
It's great for parents when they are traveling with kids (in a car, doctor's office, waiting for food at a restaurant, etc..). If you have kids and own an iPhone, please check it out. It's $2.

September 5th, 2007 at 6:45 pmThe funny thing in this is that while Japanese people (and Koreans it seems) can’t pronounce L, the Chinese can’t pronounce R. Like in rice which becomes ‘lice’.
I wonder how it come to pass that it’s a crossed way problems, Japanese can say R but not L, and Chinese can say L but not R.
