and no, that's not a misprint. well, it is, just deliberate. it's rather entertaining to hear people's opinions on non-English speaking people in Australia. Some say they shouldn't be allowed, but i love it the way it is. i very much enjoy the funny mistakes seen on packaging, on TV, and on shop walls. a perfect example is those seen whilst driving through Newtown. 'we sell candle, toy, ect.' its often small things, like a missed plural or 'ect', but they're still very funny. last night in a restaurant there was the item 'chikcen and vetable', which was rather funny, particularly as every other time those words were in the menu they were fine! if you're unfortunate enough to not experience these little typos of joy, may i recommend www.engrish.com which is a wonderful collection of these things.
so if you ask me, multiculturalism is not only healthy for the country and economy, but it brings large amounts of harmful, and rather humourous entertainment!
