I recently laughed at the
words chosen in translating from Japanese into English an online booking form for a Tokyo
ryokan. This is rather unfair because the person who undertook the translation did his task fairly successfully, and native English speakers are not much better themselves. Here is the letter of instruction I received with my absentee ballot for the Missouri 2010 primaries.
Please read your ballot instructions carefull.
The computer's spell-check function could have presented this mistake.
