I've worked in several buildings that didn't have a 13th floor.

My junior high didn't have a room 13, either. At least Koreans have a somewhat reasonable explanation for their superstition.

It'll drop when you realize that the Cubs will eventually be in season.

But my rising opinion will balance that out.

I'm already seeing it in my kindergarten students who are very protective of their pencils, pencil cases, erasers, and anything else that gives them a sense of flair and individuality.

Do they have a limit to the number of pieces of flair they're allowed? And do their fashion choices often show horrifying examples of Engrish?

One of my students has a sweatshirt that says "Cerveza with a Smile."

I haven't seen anything too horrifying on a shirt in terms of Engrish value, but I did see a shirt that read "Rape" on the front and "Yes, please" on the back.
