We share photos of English language that either does not mean what the writer thought it means, or it does not mean anything at all, and then we use these examples to teach correct English.

Grand Open
Photographed in Andong (안동시), North Gyeongsang Province (경상북도), South Korea (대한민국), the use of "Grand Open" is common throughout the Republic of Korea. However, the phrase should be "Grand Opening."
Actually, the English should be removed from this sign. If you don't read Korean, then you don't know what kind of business is opening here unless you look through the windows. And if you read Korean, then you may not be able to read the English. The best approach, if there will be English-speaking employees, would be to have one sign fully in Korean and another fully in English. If not, just keep the signs fully in Korean.
