Graphic designers and proofreaders—and the businesses and governments they work for—usually succeed at eliminating errors in the text of signs, shirts, and ads. In Taiwan, the normal standards seem relaxed for the English-language portions.
I’m not sure why Taiwan has so much English—maybe due to optimism regarding tourism and business. Whatever the reason, it has resulted in widespread error-ridden, idiosyncratic, and unintentionally poetic English in public typography.
