Indian English
From Chandan Mitra's weekly column in the Pioneer, some hilarious examples of English usage:
In a newspaper, describing a case of chain-snatching in which criminals shot dead the man who tried to resist and pursue the chain-snatchers, the reporter stated: “The deceased gave chase to the criminals who, however, managed to escape”!
Police notice: “Take care of belongings. You may be theft”
The article is interesting reading too.
