As I mentioned in a previous post on Indian English , one comes across hilarious examples all the time…….here’s another one.
The nice lady from personnel in the company I work for sent out an email welcoming this new guy in Finance. You know, the usual stuff: Anil joins us from yada yada yada where he was yada yada yada. He did his BCom from yada yada yada. Anil has also done his chartered accountant.
So all you people out there, studying to take your CA or CPA exams – don’t worry if you don’t make the grade. Go sleep with your CA or CPA instead. Apparently, in some companies, it’s an equivalent qualification.

Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation 🙂 Anyway … nice blog to visit.

Hey Decennial. I had earlier done a post on the unique way we use English….it’s called “we are like this only”. This one was a follow-up to that…..though it’s self-contained! You may want to re-read the last line of the bit in italics.
Thanks for visiting.
Cheers.

Brilliant! I love how people don’t proof-read email before clicking ‘send’. Spell-check won’t catch everything. Ha-ha!

Hey Liam. Yup, it’s like the HSBC blooper you’ve put up on your site!
Cheers.

ROFL! Good one. Loved the spelling bee one too. I shouldnt laugh though, considering I never run a spell check on my blog.

‘More funny’?
It should be ‘funnier’, right? 😉

Or you probably meant ‘more of Funny Indian English’.
@Haresh: Welcome to my blog and thanks for the comments. No, no, I am meaning exactly what I am typing only.
