Verbatim, from the handle of a mosquito swatter ...

"It is every to refresh 15 hours in 10 in time"[/color]

The funny thing is, if I stare at it for a while it starts to make some sense. :o

Just purchased the Mosquito Beater, v. 2011. Instructions for charging read:

"It is Every to Refresh 15 Hours in 10 ~ Time"

Gotta love Thailand, right? Seven years later and they STILL employ this mangled sentence on the handle. It's perhaps the only place where a linguistic error not only is never fixed, it eventually becomes the PREFERRED way to say something. ;)

Still, I must ask: Why is it someone at the Mosquito Beater Co. never took it upon themselves to consult a dictionary or a foreigner BEFORE engraving this head-scratcher permanently on the plastic handle? Are you so lazy and careless (carefree, yes I know!) that you can't take two minutes to check your sentence? Too scared to ask?

Nevertheless, since getting it fixed would constitute a change in ways (and probably a whole bunch of bureaucratic procedure at the company), it's there for eternity. Woohoo!
