English is difficult. Why bother righting proper english?? You shall be concerned about grammar, syntax, styling, word choice and much more. You'll prove read a sentance over, over, over, over, over again, but for what?! Good english is not funny, but with Bad English, at least you can get ionic enjoyment outof it.
Writing sentances in bad broken english can be much more fun! Right it in style of a [[Blind Idiot Translation]] or [[Translation Train Wreck]], for FUNNY! These to tropes are often very unintenional hilarity.
This is writing anything in the style of a [[Blind Idiot Translation]] or [[Translation Train Wreck]], to make it funny, due to the unintentional hilarity of those tropes. Typical "Engrish" is the most popular style, particularly using the infamous opening of ''[[Zero Wing]]'' as a template. Just have fun with improper placing of articles and prepositions, screwing up plural and singular forms, throwing in [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma]] terms, or just use the wrong word for what the sentence calls for.▼
Too do this, please:
* Bad the usage of articles in a wrong place, using an wrong article, or not using article required at all.
* Misplace or using the wrong prepositions over an sentence.
* Mess up plural and singular form in sentence you write.
* Using the wrong word than what the sentence culls for.
* Using the wrong homonym then what the sentence needs.
* capitalise Words Incorrectly.
* Spam unnecessary spaces.
* Using all cap WORDS when you don't need TO!
* Spam exclimination marks!!!!!
