Urodov posted:the chinese word for planet is literally "star ball" true story In a few MST3K episodes that featured badly-dubbed Japanese films, they'd often (but not always) say "star" instead of "planet." It added to the general joy and confusion.

It added to the general joy and confusion. yeah chinese prefers two-character words more often than japanese does, but taxonomically speaking, both languages class all dense celestial objects as stars, including the one we're standing on (aka "land ball" in both languages)

okay so i looked it up, star wars is 星球大战 (planet great war) whereas starcraft is 星际争霸 (interstellar hegemony) so it's a mashup e: god the engrish just kills me sometimes. in many cases the errors seem like they could be attributable to lovely ocr or something, but at other times they seem all too human. and sometimes it's amazing the ridiculous texts they're sampling to get the nonsense phrases. what sort of database are they drawing it from? why are there so many typos? how do they choose what text to use? i guess they couldn't put too much care into it given they scale they produce this stuff at, but it still invites wonder as to how exactly these strings of latin letters end up the way they so consistently do.

Oddly enough here is a book about the warring states period of the same title https://www.amazon.com/Contend-Hegemony-Stories-Warring-States/dp/7545212797 And this is the Chinese episode 4 poster  And here is the poster from episode 7 with less stylized characters  so all the gudi people would have had to do is look up the official spelling of "star wars" in chinese based on the star wars release super mario batali fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Dec 15, 2016 |

 Holy Moley Unwrapping Post TimeStarring my dog, Link.  "Hmm smells interesting dad"  "Looks like it's for me I'll take it from here" Scary looking hand on top of a suspicious card...  Aww it's from Hamjobs (Capn. Ladybeard McFlurry) and family!!  "Hmm what's in this one dad"    "Hmm these also look like they are for me Dad" This is a small sample, the whole box is full of candy   "OOh this looks interesting"  "I need to play with all of these now please" So many dog toys holy moley!  "You can leave this with me Dad"  "Uhh, you can keep that one dad" It's like elf on a shelf, but "Annalee," 75 years and counting is what it says on the tag. Truly frightening and awesome  Hot cocoa mix!  bunny and sheepie cookie cutters!!  This funny calendar!  "Thanks!!" What an awesome package. There's a crazy japanese candy thing in here which requires I use my microwave to construct it, so I'll have a follow-up post here in a bit
