love, jeongmin

just now emily forwarded me an email sent to her by her korean accompanist. i thought i'd share.

"Emily,

I have already a student of Pr.Fisher who needs an accompanist at 4pm. It probably ends up at 4:30pm but, I am not sure. For this reason, I think it won't seem beautiful for you to wait. I am sorry about that.

Thanks,
Jeongmin"

while an excellent example of engrish, it can't quite measure up to the all-time classic, which can still be found on many chopstick wrappers:

"welcome to chinese restaurant. please try your Nice chinese food with chopsticks, the traditional and typical of glonious chinese history and cultual."

yes, it's sad that i have it memorized. and now i offer my apologies to all my asian-american friends.
