Aarrgghh!! An Alarming Fire Alarm!
Dicembre 2013
If you see English mistakes (in Italy, the UK, anywhere!) that make you scream “Aarrgghh!!!” please take a photo and send it to redazione@speakupmagazine.it. We will publish the best (that is, the worst) both here and on our Facebook page.
To crash in event of fire
An Alarming Fire Alarm!
The phrase in the picture: "To crash in event of fire"
If you want to know how the phrase in this picture sounds in English do a SEARCH on Google images. Done? OK: a crash is an accident (train, plane or car). There’s an intransitive verb, to crash, meaning to have an accident, and a more slang-like transitive version, to crash a party (which is an abbreviation of the older term gatecrash), meaning to attend a party without an invitation. You CANNOT, however, “crash” glass! The correct term is "In case of fire break glass".
