    Is this a sign you actually passed?
    Definitely looks like a foreign company though.

    @Alexander: It’s our local supermarket. I took the photo myself. There’s stuff like this all over town, I just don’t have enough memory cards for all of it.

    What do you mean by “foreign”? Do you mean not Turkish? Because I’d put money down that the sign was written by a Turk. Makro is not Turkish-owned though, is it? It’s an international chain, and I’m pretty sure it’s based in Amsterdam. But of course all the localisation stuff will have been done, well, locally. I promise you no Dutchman wrote that sign. 😀

    @joe I know, it sounds like there’s going to be human rights violations, according to the sign.

    Fucking hilarious. I hope I don’t write like this on tomorrow’s Danish exam.

    And by the way…isn’t there some company there that can hire you just because you’re a native English speaker? There seems to be a high demand for translations that make sense!
