Don’t make these mistakes—English errors seen in Korea (and around the world)

DC CopyPro has compiled and will share examples of real English errors spotted mainly in Korea (with some examples from around the globe). The purpose of these posts is not to ridicule (though we may share a good laugh) but to educate. 

Instead of making fun of these English errors, DC CopyPro will be highlighting the problems and providing suggestions on how to fix them. Learn from the mistakes of others. Don’t make the same mistakes yourself.

DC CopyPro has collected +350 examples of mistakes and awkward English on signs, menus, clothing, and product packaging. And this list continues to grow. These examples will be posted, with suggested corrections, on Instagram. Follow DC CopyPro on Instagram for free tips on English mistakes to avoid.

Got an example of English that could be improved? 

More than half of the +350 examples DC CopyPro has amassed have been generous submissions.  If you have a picture of a typo in a sign or a menu, or a humorous mistranslation, or poor choice of words for a product or business—send it to me! I won’t promise to use it, but if I share it in my Instagram feed, you will get full credit for the submission (unless you wish to remain anonymous).

The only rules for submitting images are:

  • It must be your image. I can’t use screenshots or photos from the web.
  • You give me permission to use the photo in my Instagram feed. I will credit you and tag you on Instagram if you like. If you don’t want to be credited, I’ll credit you as “anonymous”—no risk involved!
  • The picture must include a typo, misspelling, grammar mistake, or poor translation—in English!
  • Pictures can be from anywhere (not just Korea).

If you’d like to send me an image, please use this form. You’ll have to complete a new form for each image you submit.

Be sure to follow DC CopyPro on Instagram for examples of mistakes to avoid and how to fix them.
