Engrish of the Week

For those of you that don't know..I am a follower of Engrish. Engrish is the non standard variation of English in Asian countries. It is often confusing and funny.

Pirate Drama

I have been following the Somali pirate situation for a few months now. In the fall of last year the British news followed intently as pirates attacked ships and stole gold, money and general pirate booty. As we all know, the pirates recently managed to capture a boat with American citizens.

Despite international efforts to step up security, pirates have been operating with near impunity off the Horn of Africa. This year, there have been more than 50 pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia -- six of them in the past week alone.

The Pirates also boast an array of sophisticated weaponry that your average seafarer does not have. The Pirates are armed with automatic weapons, anti-tank rocket launchers and even grenades. Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is now alarmed out the amount of terror the pirates are spreading. Organizations who are providing aid, goods are oil venture into the most dangerous waters are now being taught how to fend off a pirate attack.

It will be interesting to see how far this eventually will go.
