Hi Leon..hum!
We both can benefit from a cross-fertilization of our multilingual minds,
so if you are interested please contact me at m.porcher@unimelb.edu.au
I run the site MMPND
http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/List_bot.html
which is designed to help in this sort of work, integrating botanical
taxonomy and linguistics. It is far from completed and certainly not
perfect, but with the help of people like yourself we can improve it.
Kind regards
Michel

"LEON'S EFL PLANET" IS A FRAUDULENT SITE!! LEON **DID NOT PASS** HIS POST
GRADUATE CERTIFICATE HE DISPLAYS SO PROUDLY ON THIS SITE. HE DISPLAYS A
CERTIFICATE FROM 'THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM', U.K.- WHICH WAS A FAILURE!
BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION AND A SPECIAL *FRIEND* AT BHAM, LEON GOT A THIRD
READING FOR A TWICE (2 TIMES!) FAILED COURSE MODULE. LEON IS A HYPOCRITE
AND A FAKE, BUT SEEMS TO BE PROUD TO BE PART OF DISCUSSIONS ON IMPROVING
EDUCATION. PLEASE WRITE TO ME AT PHENSTE_2003@YAHOO.CA FOR THE ACTUAL
ORIGINAL MESSAGES FROM BIRMINGHAM SUPERVISOR(S) STATING HOW "SLOW" HIS
INTELLECT IS. THIS SITE, ITSELF, IS FULL OF MISTAKES - I DO NOT RECOMMEND
ATTEMPTING TO LEARN ANYTHING HERE. **PROFESSOR** -STEPHEN D. GODFREY,

I hate to tell you this, but egg rolls are actually called spring rolls in
Chinese. Egg rolls are cookies in Hong Kong and China. I dunno who coined
them egg rolls, but they are not made of eggs and they are not called egg
rolls in Chinese. And yeah, they are a Chinese food. Usually consumed
during New Year, to welcome in the Spring Festival. Which is the Chinese
New Year, if you didn't know that.

Since you said that the second part was pure nonsense, why don't I give it
a go? Original: Produced Meticulous A Present First Choose 100%
Possible correction: Produced meticulously as an entirely first choice
gift. OR Produced meticulously as a gift that should absolutely be your
first choice. (Since the cookies claim to have pure European taste, it is
regarded as high quality and therefore, excellent as a gift.) There you go.
Are you learning anything yet?

To the smart aleck who posted all the comments in "My Personal List of
Chinglish Compiled by Leon" You must have had fun poking fun at the English
you found in China. However, I suggest that you also upgrade your English
skills. Someone who cannot not even spell "production" correctly should not
be criticizing others! You wrote - "What about a space after punction
marks?" and "PRODCUTION DATE". This can further be seen in your sentence
with the cookies -"The cookies are best consumed soon after opening the
package to insure freshness." I think you mean ensure NOT insure!!
I don`t think you should be TOO anal in criticizing about the spacing
between the punctuation marks either. In Asia, there are usually no spaces
between the characters. (if you haven`t failed to notice) I suggest that
you put your time to good use such as studying more about the Chinese
culture instead of bashing about every LITTLE thing you see!!!

Realy enjoyed your blog,,a co-worker showed it to me,,,,showed it to my
husband,,,we have been living in korea for 2 years now. we have a daughter
that is 4 years old,,,,our time started out very bad,,,but it is turning
out ok now

Leon,
I attempted email without luck... so:

I have long been a fan of your site, especially the concise and
readable definitions of various figures of speech. I have recently
posted my own site specifically dealing with metaphors and idioms
that reference dogs either directly or indirectly: The Canine in
Conversation: Dogs in Metaphor and Idiom, Illustrated
(www.metaphordogs.org) It is strictly non-commercial. I have
included a link to your site on the companion page, Speaking of Dogs:
http://www.iconoclastic.net/speakingofdogs/figures.html . If you
think it appropriate it would be great to have a link from your site
to mine. Additionally, I do not know if I would qualify for an unpaid
advertisement, if so I would be interested in that as well.
Thanks for all your hard work over the years.
