Some Helpful Babycare Tips

Engrish In Brazil

Engrish is probably best defined as a humorous look at how foreigners (particularly from Asia) pronounce not only the word "English," but use the language as a whole. [*] It is not gratuitous (generally speaking—and specifically in this case) making fun of others, just noticing the humor in the abuse of the English language.

One of our wedding presents was the "Multiply Function Pot" pictured below. At first sight I thought, "Woah, it is in English!" Then I read the title again and laughed. They were obviously going for "Multiple Function Pot." But then, maybe the functions multiply as one uses it?

After a little research, I found a website that sells these Multiply Function Pots.

The instructions are as entertaining as the product name:

1. Put the stainless filter into container.
2. Put proper tea or coffee into filter.
3. Pour into proper boiling water.
4. Pour the tasty coffee into your cup.

Then the graphic has a note that says: "Take down up-down strew" I am still not sure what that means after looking at it several times. The word "strew" means to scatter—which must mean the strainer, but how does one "take down up-down?"

And the following (all errors [sic]):

Instruction for cleanning:

The filter is made of stainless wire. when it used for a long time, it will be dirty, so pleas take the filter out first when you clean it..But do not clean it with hand. please use sponge or brush to clean it.

Then at the very bottom it says, "Do not put on the fire directly."

This one is straight out of China, which makes me wonder how it ended up here in Teresina-Brazil instead of the USA. That said, it is a nice little teapot.
