J is for Just for Laughs (11): Chinese Instructions

I am away from my regular internet connection for the next week so I'm blogging from my cell phone. I'm trying to visit other people's blogs but some of them just don't display properly on a cell phone screen (sidebars sit nicely on top of posts so I can't read them!). If you've followed me and I haven't followed you back yet, I'll get to that next week when I'm back home!

My boyfriend recently ordered me an e-reader from China. It's not a brand anyone would easily recognise, but it has all the working functions and was obviously a lot cheaper than, for example, a Kindle. ANYWAY, the point of this post is that I just had to share the hilarious English inside the User's Manual:

PS. I'd just like to add that I know English is tough when it's not your first language, and I don't mean to offfend anyone with this post. Heck, I could never even hope to speak/write Chinese! So this is just for a good-natured laugh :-)

PPS. I made a friend recently at a writing workshop and he's just started a blog. He's joining in the A to Z Blogging Challenge, even though we're already... 10 letters in (yes, I had to stop and count the letters on my fingers... don't laugh!). So go check out Grant's Big Blog and say hi :-)
