Until 1997
their official language was english too. The metro system
Is in english, road signs are in english, they drive on the left and the correct address for a police officer is still 'sir' or 'madam'. Not everybody spoke it though, and I would dispute whether they spoke it better (although at least grammar was still an emphasised part of the education programme).
I do know what you mean though - in fact, I'm continually amused by the so-called British made goods having poorly translated chinglish instructions. Thing is, we just don't have a manufacturing base here any more. Do you see any factories? Even British-made goods are really only assembled here. Everything at some point will have some component that was sourced from the far east.
If you think this is bad, you should check out Hobby King's LiPo policy!
