I honestly don’t get it. My bewilderment is complete.

I mean, this isn’t a botched translation. Bad translations are hard enough to understand as it is, especially on giant signs or billboards from large, serious companies. If you want to build a giant, expensive sign you can spend the very small amount of money and effort it takes to get it right, right? You can at least ASK a native speaker of the language if what you wrote made sense, can’t you?

But in this case… they didn’t even have to do that! There wasn’t any need to translate. Just repeat. Copy/paste. Read 16 letters and write them down. How do you fail at that? How?

obvious fake. Anyone with mediocre Photoshop skills could do better. Compare the i’s– the second is obviously an L with a line drawn through it.

Engrish is struggling, maybe? Or just duped….
