But no to both, which is a relief.
We have a large Asian population here, but what you see in the Engrish website hardly exists here.
I think there are too many Aussies who speak good English to proof read for them. Also, many of the Asians have come here as students, so I expect thay are better educated compared to the average back home.
What I once read on that website is that if a product has English written on it, it makes it more desirable from a marketing point of view. So the correctness is not important, just so long as there are Engrish words on it.

Re: Anybody want to buy a book?
My family went on a tour through Europe when I was in high school. I hung out with two plumbers from outside Melbourne. They pronounced it "Mel bin" or some such. The more we drank, the less I could understand what they were saying. Really bad influence on a 17 y/o kid.
That said I once drove Colin Farrell. His Irish accent was so heavy I couldn't understand a word he said to me. I finally asked him to speak in an American accent so I could tell what the hell he was saying. He found it very funny.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver
