Textbook Fun: World Domination Begins with Making Your ALT Go Crazy

These are all from a textbook made by the JET Programme [sic] for its members to study Japanese. The humourous captions are of course by a bored English teacher. Check out the flickr gallery for all of them.

Well, if you’re teaching English over there, I hope you’re teaching them how to properly differentiate between it’s and its.

ah bloody hell. The easiest typo to make. Yes, I know the difference, and I’ll edit it before other grammarians come out of the woodwork.

And speaking of grammarians coming out of the wood work, you use of the {sic} in the part
“These are all from a textbook made by the JET Programme [sic] for its members…”

is itself not correct, as the English word ‘Programme’ is spelt correctly, it is the US version of the English language that uses ‘Program’.

Not that I want to cause controversy (what ever way you pronounce it!).

well, I used “[sic]” because some people will complain it’s not spelled correctly. But “[sic]” does not imply something is wrong, it implies “this is how it is written/said by this group, and I am reproducing it that way, and noting it to be clear that I realize it might not be standard usage”
Least that’s my opinion on using “[sic]“
