Tasmanian "English"

[Dazzler]

Saw this sign at a market on the weekend.  Think they were trying to say. Make an offer on prices! 

[CraigB]

I would have told the sales person to go read their sign

[nzenigma]

Funny  I was trying to think of a clever remark, but really its just sad. 

[Shambles]

I would have offered 20c for the sign, then asked if they had another in English

[The Gonz]

That's the wurst english eye scene in a long thyme, and eye lift in asia!

[Dazzler]

Yeah, it's pretty sad! I had to look at it about 3 times before I could believe my eyes!

The sign did its job......... Got you to stop and interested in what it was trying to say.

I would say it's a very good marketing ploy by the shop.....

but they can spell 

[nzenigma]

but they can spell 

" but they can spell';  so can the duckhids who continually use 'so'. Drives me mad. 

It started with people, even academics, starting every spoken phrase with the adverb 'so'. Roley Sussex of UQ put it down to a delay in the thought process, similar to 'um'.

Now its being written.
 We get a first post from a new member starting - " So, I have bought a dodgy car ...." 

note the correctly placed comma

Would have been awesome if they were that smart.. But I would bet odds of 99:1 it was not intentional.
