Fucked up Translation in China

December
This is a 18sx-rated post. Parental guidance is required. Pictures are taken in an anonymous China supermarket.
Those goods are pretty fucked up.
The price is so expensive nowadays that they’ve to Fuck the certain price of goods! It’s clear that the Chinese doesn’t like certain price of goods. What did they do? Yeah, fuck them!
Now that’s what I call, fucked up translation. I think they’re better off sticking with Mandarin than having shitty translations from a blind translation software. They should have at least get someone to proof-read their computer-generated translation, anyone with a minimal english-command will know what “fuck” means.

Wuching: They should at least seek professional advice on this matter. Don’t they turn “Drying Zone” into “you know what” zone. That’s gonna cause massive chaos there!
JoeC: It’s suppose to mean “Dry” goods. Dry = Gan in Chinese. “Gan” on the other hand, means “fuck” too.
mahagurusia: I think that’s a counterfeit ‘Made in China’ product
Che-Cheh: So you’re Amy huh? Did you get that favicon to work?

Question Time:-
Why did you choose wordpress as your blog?
Does it have friendly interfaces for users?
Did you find any problems when using it?
Thank you for your time

JoeC: Wah, wordpress hire you to do survey issit? Lolz. Anyway, here goes.
Wordpress is free and easy to implement. They have this famous 5-minute install, so it gets you kicking in no time. Once you login, the interface is clean and easy to master – friendly interface, Yes.
Also, because it’s open-source, you can basically modify the software to you likings in accordance to the GPL license. Heaps of themes and extensions are available for you to tweak your blog’s functions and layout.
No problems at all using it. You considering running one?

Hey Alex! Thanks for your rapid feedback. I like to explore the possibilities outside of blogspot. Wanna check out what it takes, my understanding was that I’ll need to pay for webhosting as well as domain name fee.
I started blogging as a pet project, then it turn into a side hobby. To go independent, I’ll have to see if I can take it to the next level. I’m still on the learning curve but going wordpress-ish is the next step. Cheers!

JoeC: Yeah, domain and hosting. If you want to move to the next level, you’ll need them. There are heaps of blogging tools out there, most significant ones are MovableType and Wordpress.
When you are ready to go, drop me a line, I’ll help out
