Bad English for Salgado's exhibition
Here is some really bad English I saw today on the Prague metro.
But what are the mistakes in this advert for the Sebastiao Salgado exhibition in Prague?
Answer below!
Firstly, it should be:
''3.5 million visitors...''
In English we use a full stop/period not a comma as the decimal mark.
For more on this, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark
When we say a specific number, it is million rather than millions:
one million species, 22 million dollars.
When it is general, we say millions:
there were millions of species, he has millions of dollars.
Secondly, the rest of the sentence is confusing:
''...from all over the world''
It sounds like they will all be there now!
It would be better to say something like:
''...around the world''
