Why I Would Not Advertise In Europe

Post by Morris Mike »

I noticed this advert for a Morris Minor Taveller.
Although a slap on the back to the seller for trying to sell it to us Brits,I think he ought to have got it translated correctly.
This is why I would not advertise my car to the French or Germans if I did the translation myself,it just would not perhaps come across in a way they would like.

Well I can understand it. At least he's had a go. More than I would if situation reversed!

Better than the emails I get from my "Bank" not?

Sounds good, apart from a few misspellings and a rather high price I can't see a problem.
People who are native English speakers have done worse.

Even I had to correct a typo!

Apparently you only need the first and last letter in a word to read it the others can be in any order even a total mess!
