We own - we have.</p> <p>On the philosophical side we could do a whole thing on how the Chinese (and most companies including those in the USA) judge their success by the size of their building and staff. More importantly we could go on and on about Chinese employees and their loyalty and commitment to their employers. Have you noticed how that is changing as they become more "Americanized"?</p> <p>On the "shake you head" side we could wonder why they don't get it right before they advertise in English. <span class="e_devil" title="(devil)"><span class="e__">(devil)</span> </span></p> <p>Dee</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 10 May 2007 by HARVEY-ONLY</p> <hr /><a name="a4486_8"></a><p><b>From: Dave Jones (DAVERJ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4486.8">#8</a>]<br /> 2 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: Dee (DEENA-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4486.7">#7</a>] 2 Aug 2006</p> <p>Have you ever seen this site?</p> <p> <a href="http://www.engrish.com/recent.php">http://www.engrish.com/recent.php</a></p><hr /><a name="a4486_9"></a><p><b>From: Cody (BOBTNAILER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4486.9">#9</a>]<br /> 2 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: Dave Jones (DAVERJ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4486.8">#8</a>] 3 Aug 2006</p> Not until now, but now I can't stop laughing!!!
