Worst phrasebook ever

From the site:
Quote:
This 1883 book is without question the worst phrasebook ever written. The writer, Pedro Carolino, who was Portuguese, did not particularly speak English, nor did he have a Portuguese-English dictionary available. Instead, he worked with a French-English phrasebook and a Portuguese-French dictionary. The results, I'm sure you'll agree, are staggering.


Awesome. I particularly like how "wolf" and "hedge hog" are listed under "fish and shellfish."
