Ellisa  +  580718 Mon, 27 Oct 08 02:42 PM Hello teachers! I have homework making animation film with broken English. I went to a supermarket and I found some broken English on the board. However, I'm not sure which is wrong and if it's wrong, what's the correct one. Please help me! Here is the list. 1. chilled food 2. liquor 3. cleanser 4. canned-goods 5. confectionery 6. disposable/ consumables 7. fruit 8. living 9. lighting 10. self packing I also saw some words in english on a street. 1. safety together 2. old terminal DIR ( i GUESS old here means- ex. But I don't think "ex" doesn't fit here.. and DIR is the short form of direction, but do you really use this word?) 3. harmonious city Thanks in advance!

I also saw some words in english on a street. 1. safety together  (This is strange, without context it makes no sense) 2. old terminal DIR (This is fine, DIR, I'm assuming, is the acronym for the station name, or an abbreviation) 3. harmonious city ”   UM... just wrong. NO I dea what's meant (again, no context) I suppose you could say " a city living in harmony" Cheers, I hope this helps, Nick samuraifingers Joined on Thu, Oct 16 2008 New Member 51 It's easier to ask forgiveness, than it is to ask for permission!
