It is common for Filipinos to mess up the English language. As a nation with several dialects due to it's archepelagic geography, the confusion in proper language and grammar is real. Basically, the Filipino language is evolved from the different countries that influenced it years ago: a mixture of Spanish, Malay, Chinese and English regard the Philippines as the melting pot of Asia. Much of the English language influence came from America and the first known teachers in the early 20th Century were known as the _Thomasites,_ they helped the Filipinos have the education for the masses. In the Philippine education system, the medium of instruction is English that's why Filipinos can and understand it easily as it's second language. To say nobody is perfect is an understatement because not all Filipinos are experts, at an early age, the child already is confused with the language in the home and school, and more likely would be prone to mistakes and miscommunication between the native dialect and the medium of instruction used in the formal education. ### Here are ACTUAL FUNNY SIGNS IN ENGLISH some Filipinos post that are devoid of corrections: ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNSU4uc5daUC9uhrtvquBLmGCj46saLr8HjNgFkqZoZQF/image.png) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNbuYFbwiztMsqf489RhfUhPoUyoHYP8t3iUJWvqbnYGn/image.png) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfYXJUMBPdL1vH6CiKV6ikk7NzLfexnjft5mbq9L3FvzG/image.png) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSsNhHkzHLUFjzAUDNbU3Me9srgzCWuNF2mAUjCkGYydp/image.png) _Translated as: Bed Sheet, it depends on the class._ ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfSuJe5DDnCPwSNKEaDjuUdpM2aB8QKpw3ExgdEsoGs7x/image.png) _TAE means poo._ ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdsZUnxqdZ5YPCTwHTUq9q5Z1x5tkVAkRmr8SMQ4ErCCb/image.png) When all the prizes of the Karaoke Contest are in secret... ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY8xcsRrZzs5YhRpxw59A6BFa51RiHmBnfkYNcw52sSfv/image.png) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc9uHbKjJHnMWzwEqC4su7ccJ8PqxdRqw6PDm67gbZVZh/image.png) _Didn't know sweatshirts are sweet._ ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZU1x23usHv5P2fFcHnWd8WJQg5jPTU3UJYdqJk98WyDN/image.png) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTrFh4KuzdUK2yhMgT4nsDsfFccxqvwJHeGu8i32DMwBF/image.png) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZBQfdvu2TiKSE1gfVWFnpf4Xs7WAk6RtEKjm8dqvPjJm/image.png) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWLnwvMEAqZkkCcY7wwKVrHKCud6izCJHi9DMyhc7ZMqz/image.png) _Double deck beds, I suppose. lol_ ### If you are a grammar nazi these would give you a heart attack.
