And also God drat some sellers can whinge about a return. I've been buying "g15 glass" sunglasses and doing tests on them. One seller sent plastic lenses and WOULD NOT GIVE A REFUND, even after photos of me bending the lenses. Still only $6 but if you see any reviews from sunglasses sellers with my username they're legit.

I'm 4/5 on getting actual glass so far. I'm measuring thickness and lens edging quality. Surprised that most are good so far.

For 7 years I was a refracting optician, ABO/NCLE certified. I did the phoropter exam ("Which one is better, 1 or 2?") and made the lenses, or just edged the lenses in-house, depending on Rx.

I'd be very interested in hearing your test results.

Especially in UV protection, if you have the equipment to test.

Are shirt sizes in Chinese standard?
If they are i need to buy 2XL for an American M/L.

You probably should. Follow the sizing charts from each listing, too. They're not perfect, but going to be more accurate than trying to figure out if you're a Chinese XXXXL.

I've got an Indian XL polo-shirt somewhere that is probably a small here. I struggled to fit my head through the neck hole.

Try to buy from listings with size charts, because more and more sellers are switching to US sizings and that caused me to get some garbage-bag-fitting dresses recently. I sized up since there was no size chart. A mistake.

I think they do that more often when there's a "sign up and get these general coupons!" promotion going on, to prevent or at least slow down people trying to get a whole bunch of free stuff.

It's amazing that the lead floating around apparently makes for the perfect amount of mad hattery to make weapons grade memes

Does that even happen between any other languages, or is it just an artifact of English being a universal business language?

E: though, no, it's not just the engrish, it's also the perfect pop culture mash ups. Of course some ideas are stolen, but certainly not all of them

I think it's mostly just helped by China's flagrant disregard for copyright law plus the amount of trade we do with them. The only thing that really comes close is the film industry which is what gives us things like Ghana's film posters and Turkish Star Wars and Nollywood's insanity.

Looks like all my poo poo is now on the way. It took some of the sellers a few days longer than most ebay sellers or banggood but eh. Interestingly it seems that the cheapo laser pointer that will probably melt my eyes was located in Turkey instead, which is pretty convenient.
