As a Linguistics graduate who’s always had a soft spot for the English language, I find great delight in puns, plays on words and clever word games or tricks. One of my favourite pastimes is spotting misspelt words (either intentionally or otherwise) in signs, on shopfronts or in menus.
Admittedly, I do have an abhorrence of misplaced apostrophes and a growing dread that apostrophes might be phased out of the English language completely within my lifetime, however, there remains a certain charm to spelling and grammatical errors, particularly when made in an official capacity, like on street signs or product packaging. And when such errors or imaginative use of English are used in countries where English is not the first language, that charm seems to magnify.
Here are my favourite examples of ‘Indlish’ that I’ve spotted so far…
A wonderful example of apostrophe use on a Loyal World supermarket receipt.

A were-dog perhaps?
On the back of a rickshaw!
Great marketing in Barista coffee shop.
The equivalent of the UK’s “No cold callers”. Nuff said.
Khushi’s cafe: Yes, I have a Particulars intolerance.
The Indian skin-based plumbing systems just can’t handle it.
Addicted to shopping? “Never again”!

“Electrifications” by J.K. Electricals – sounds like a cheap Harry Potter spin-off.
