WHY ARE WE HERE?

ENGLISH TEACHERS RULE!

We are advanced English Teachers in China. We are called Foreign English experts.

Our title: English Professor


Good reasons we are here often appear in Chinese culture. We are in China to help people learn to speak and write English. Here are some good examples of why we have come to China.



SPELL CHECK...


There are two spelling errors in the photo above, one is on the green jacket. (Seasom should be Season and PMUA should be PUMA) When I showed this to my graduate students, they said that they thought the company did this on purpose in order to be different and thereby sell more product. I said "NOT!"
Jay was following these two guys down the street today as he walked home from class. He noticed a nice leather jacketed man walking in front of him and could not resist this photo.

It is clear that this jacket is in a class of it's own, very new, nice and unique, but it is probably supposed to be a "Classic" leather jacket, except for a simple spelling error during the production process.


I wonder if they use "spell check" in their factory.
Does anyone know how to spell check on this blog?
I make some mistakes at times too and I should not publish those.
I don't want to get fired as a First Year, China Foreign Expert, English Teacher.

Betcha they don't have spell check in their factories. What a picture to go down in history.
Dana, I have been helping Beverly to start a blog and it is now official. Her blog is now a link on mine.

Hey, Joe said that the reason they are misspelled is that they are knock offs of major American brands. They are not allowed to use the real name due to Copy right laws and so knock off brands use different spelling, knowing that most Chinese ( or Columbians in Joe's case) wont know or care about the difference.

That last comment was from me not you dad. I was working on your blog and was logged in as you, then left a comment. Sorry that was from me. Also it is super easy to spell check. There is a check mark up by where you add pictures. Click on that and the mistakes will appear as yellow then you click on the yellow misspelled words and it gives you correct spellings.
