Are
you affluent in English? No? What if I offered you a job and made it your role
and responsibility to become affluent in English? Will you consider it as a
kind of a joke? No, I am serious. A company continues to display this vacancy on
its website even after being informed. Perhaps the difference between
'affluent' and 'fluent' is not clear; perhaps a similar confusion exists
between qualifications & skill set and role & responsibility; or
something else is wrong.
Obsession
with the English language sometimes exposes the pathetic discomfort of the
advertiser with it. It also leads to some unintended funny interpretations.
Sample the following:
Ladies
are requested not to have children in the bar.
The
manager has personally passed all the water served here.
The
lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will
be unbearable.
Teeth
extracted by the latest methodists.
For
restrooms go back toward your behind.
Please
be careful to traffic.
Please
do not drop butt in the toilet bowl.
Nothing
last's forever.
Please
do not empty your dog here.
You
must be having some examples to add. Please feel free and go ahead!
