Honestly I had no idea what to write as a funny
story until I’ve red this news about EURO 2012! Unfortunately it’s a black humour... unfortunately it’s about
our country.
Yesterday, on the internet appeared an article
about linguistic mistake on Polish EURO 2012 advertising campaign. Poland wants to be seen as a friendly and hospitable
nation so the EURO 2012 advertising experts invented a slogan: “FEEL LIKE AT HOME”. The point is that there is a
mistake in this sentence. Andy Edwins (an English translator) said that this
phrase doesn’t exists in his language. One can say: “feel at home” or “feel
like you’re at home”.
To sum up I thought that it is
a myth that Polish people say “shit’s going around me” if they “don’t care”…
but as we can see even specialists makes this kind of mistakes. And I’m wonder
how it is possible that no one noticed this mistake before hundreds of poster
were ploted?
