I have used Twitter therefore I have Twatted. I love English!

Oh man, translations...
Years ago a US chicken supplier try to run a marketing campaign in Mexico by word for word translating the American slogan which read "It takes a strong man to make a chicken tender"....
The translation read.."It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate"

I enjoy the Asian "translations" in owners manuals

There's a bunch of legit translation fails in the advertising business. My favorite, Kentucky Fried Chicken opening shop in China. Their slogan of "Finger Lickin Good" translated to "Eat Your Fingers Off". Here's a list of some great ones...
When “Finger licking good” became “Eat your fingers off “

The only thing I dislike about this email type stuff is no tone of voice so no way to discern the seriocity level.

Go soothingly upon the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.

Move over Shakespeare. There's a new bard in town.
