The “y” in “City” seems oddly placed. (Does bad spacing and letter palcement count?)

And I would call “Banciao” a mistake because Tongyong Pinyin is a mistake!

(I had to keep re-editing this post to beat the Pinyin Autocorrector :fume:)

if you can count the same one repeated more than once, I count 10.

Edit: No wait, it is seven, I thought Tucheng was wrong :blush:

I’m wondering about “Taipei Command” because I can’t read the chinese I have absolutely no clue …

5

Well, “silingbu” means “command” as in military command headquarters.

Another mistake: it should be Taipei County Command.

6

Center is also wrong. It should be Centre .(Boston Tea Party is old news, OK. Lets get back to decent spelling.)

I wonder who pm-ed you. I can’t believe you just happened to read it a few minutes after I wrote it.

Yes, it looks like Emergency if you cover the bottom 60%. Of course, if you driving the car right behind the vehicle while you attempt to make sense of it with your finger, you might defeat its purpose…

I wonder what street signs in a Western country would look like if they had to be in English and Chinese…

It is very funny. It seems English isn’t as bad in Taiwan as it is in Japan.

And a very well educate one at that.
