Forum member Ben Sanchez sent in the four photos below of English-challenged signages to tease and test our proofreading skills. Enjoy!

I went to a certain 24-hour car wash along Boni Avenue, in Mandaluyong City, and saw this sign, which read "Services Offered...Collision repair, Bupping..."  I asked one of the staff what "bupping" meant; he replied, "Iyung parang pinakikintab iyung sasakyan."  Then I quickly realized that the sign meant "buffing."  So much for Boni-Avenue-Mandaluyong-City style of English.
