Mind your language 1


Shoot this sign board at a Metro station which reads:

"NO JUMPING OFF THE PLATFORM AND ONTO THE TRACK"

I think it should read as:
"DO NOT JUMP ON TO THE TRACK"

The reason why I post all these Mind Your Language signs is that I find it rather amusing that the English is a direct translation of the Mandarin.
But I respect the people in my company, their level of usage of English is not bad.
