Don’t make these mistakes—English errors seen in Korea (and around the world)
I share examples of real English errors spotted in Korea (and elsewhere) daily. The purpose of these posts is not to ridicule (though we may share a good laugh) but to educate.
I don’t make fun of these English errors. I highlight the problems and provide suggested fixes. Learn from the mistakes of others. Don’t make the same mistakes yourself.
DC CopyPro has collected 900+ examples of mistakes and awkward English. They’re found on signs, menus, clothing, and product packaging. The list continues to grow. These examples, with suggested corrections, are posted on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Threads. Follow DC CopyPro on Instagram for free tips on English mistakes to avoid. I’ve even compiled the most common mistakes in a two-part blog post (Part 1 / Part 2). Better yet, this post contains a list of approved English signs for Korean businesses.
Got an example of English in Korea that could be improved?
More than half of the 1,300+ examples DC CopyPro has amassed have been generous submissions. Do you have a picture of a typo or an awkward English example? Perhaps it’s from a sign or a menu. Maybe it’s a humorous mistranslation or a poor choice of words for a product or business. Whatever the case, send it to me! I won’t promise to use it, but if I share it on Instagram, you will get full credit for the submission (if you’d like).
The only rules for submitting images are:
- It must be your image. I can’t use screenshots or photos from the web.
- You permit me to use the photo in my social media posts. 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 English translation!
- 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. You can also send me a DM via any of my social media accounts.
Be sure to follow DC CopyPro on Instagram for examples of mistakes to avoid and how to fix them.
