Japanese Phoneme Problem

     Phoneme - a sound used by a language that can be utilized to make words.  Different languages use various phonemes and leave others out.  Japanese does not have a phoneme for an "L" or an "R", but combines them together into a liquid sound that is kind of hard for American english speakers to make (I actually took several years to learn how to speak Ryoko's name properly and I still have to concentrate on it).  This is often the cause of jokes directed at Japanese individuals who attempt to speak English, which I find particularly annoying.  "Rice" becomes "Lice", and you can imagine what "Broccoli" and "Celery" come out as.
     I have found many instances of this mispronunciation while in Japan and thought you would like to see one of the more recent examples.

     While I find the humor around the spoken mistake to be annoying, a printed error is just downright funny.  The company that produced this product had ample time to investigate the proper spelling, and their lack of follow through is humorous.
     This product apparently is a bag made with Calcium Carbonate.  It should react with environmental acids and do two things, break down and neutralize the acid.  A very good idea with not so good advertising. . .

     One more thing, since so few people have commented on my posts, I erroneously assumed that few people were viewing it. But I have gotten feedback that more postings would be appreciated.  With that in mind I would ask that readers post a short comment so that I can have an idea of just how many there are of you.  Thanks.
