we are guilty

Efforts to produce English written material means we see some great signs and read some really funny literature here. When we get our act together, we'll share some of the best stuff with you.

Of course, we are also guilty of doing the same thing in the local language.

My latest addition to my language teacher's daily dose of humor is as follows:
Me (pointing to the sky): There are a lot of clouds in the sky today.
Her (looking puzzled): What?
Me (with less confidence): There are a lot of clouds in the sky?
Her: tell me in English please.
Me: There are a lot of clouds in the sky.
Her (after pulling herself off the floor laughing): supplying the proper word for clouds said there aren't a lot of monkey's in the sky.
