This post is tongue in cheek, so don't take offense. We all know that Chinese companies have a long history of poor spelling and grammar, and to their defense, so does POTUS 45 (covfefe anyone?). So imagine my lighthearted chuckle when seeing this on the Axis website. Yes, I am that grammar police guy you love to hate.

Though no one has been mispelling English words longer than us Anglos.

Moral of the story is that we should not be so quick to judge others, and instead look for the error in ourselfs ;)

When it comes to spelling and grammar you have don't only look at websites, which are easily corrected.

This is the English strings from the iOS App of Dahua iDMSS Lite 3.48.001.ipa

Dahua iDMSS Light

But we can't blame number 2 for trying. we also show no favouritism below is Hikvision. iVMS-4500 4.5.1.ipa

An estimation looking at all strings is about 60+ really poor level translations. When both these rich companies put as little effort to check the most basic grammar, you feel they just don't care.  Of the two Dahua is worse, spelling Australia incorrectly is an insult to a country.

One last thing Dahua, learn to spell Google!
