@Setanta,
The term Engrish refers to any badly translated words/phrases/sentences from a foreign language (usually Japanese and Chinese) into English. The translated texts often sound very humorous and even ridiculous. Sometimes they are simply not understandable, or might have a totally different meaning from the original.

This page automatically translates the English text you entered into Engrish by first translating it into Japanese, and then back to English. This page uses babelfish, an online translation tool, to do both translations.

For more Engrish fun, visit engrish.com

Shouldn't you be a bit more specific? I don't think the annoying habit of pronouncing the r's at the end of words like "car" and "beer" is proper English at all.

Leaving aside the Australian National Child Abuse Institution which is vegemite, and those loonies who cah and bee-ah when they mean car and beer--most 'Mericans are the only ones who speak this language properly.

To be sure that one is actually a 'Merican, one has to have both one's latitude and one's longitude correct.

@Setanta,
Gorgeous rolling r's are ok too, like movers and an oeuvres, except for the rhythm and rhyme.
