    The perfectionist in me always gets annoyed with english mistakes, but it’s the innocent stupid ones like these that always find a way to tickle me. I have no clue as to how the owner of that fast food restaurant got away with using the famous curved ‘M’ logo because I’m sure he isn’t running a franchise. However, the ‘Prestige’ one clearly wins among the lot; the whole board is littered with mistakes. And since when was a foreign language ‘ma3had’ institute called a scientific lab?

    Anyways…I gotta take the car to the laundry.

    I’m really surprised that they don’t have a fluent English speaker double-checking these boards for spelling and grammar mistakes before they are made.

    You see these types of mistakes all over Iran too. For instance, when you drive away from the Shiraz airport you see “welcome” misspelled in almost every language. It’s classic.
