Turkish English

Most of the signage on all the shops in Turkey are in English - not Turkish. Promoting international commerce I suppose. But what is really neat is the way everything is spelled. Though the signs would fail any Microsoft powered spell-checker...they are in everyway phonetically correct.

Berber = Barber
Fotokopi = Photocopy
Otomotiv = Automotive
Otel = Hotel

It's definately a new twist and never too hard to sound out. It's like learning English again for the first time.
