2.3 Inscriptions in English-a fad or something else?
Many tend to buy clothes with inscriptions only in a foreign language. What they want to say? If nothing else, then it is really a tribute to fashion. But the T-shirt - even if a blank sheet on which to inscribe. Only to the inscriptions on T-shirts in English should be treated with caution, because a smart idea sounds absurd, if properly formulate it in a foreign language. The same can be said about the standard ready-made phrases - Mismatched become nothing more than a casus clothing.
One of the users worldwide net says that sometimes shirts are manufactured specifically for any organization, event, or educational institutions, and the meaning of images and inscriptions can only know this organization.
Abroad, these T-shirts are popular because they understand the meaning of the inscription. Buying a shirt, a teenager without knowing its meaning, it may be in a ridiculous situation, or at least look stupid. Sometimes funny, when there is a young man in a T-shirt, which translated means "the Organization for the Protection of the Rights of sheep in the Netherlands."
2.4 We are responsible for what is written in our clothes.
For inscriptions on clothing should be treated with suspicion. Surrounding often perceive them as words spoken aloud fashion master. If you are not supported on your clothes are written the words, why do you pinned it on yourself? Over the past couple of years, it recorded nearly two dozen cases, when a strange inscriptions on T-shirts, made in Arabic, or understandable, in English, but with "jokes" about the bomb carriers such clothes security did not allow a flight on a plane. So, to paraphrase a famous phrase, we can say - we are responsible for what is written in our clothes.
Thus, as we have already noted, an essential attribute of a youth t-shirts are a wardrobe, and with various inscriptions, often in English. They can tell us a lot about a person, in particular, and that this person does not understand what is written on his clothes.
This can be explained by the fact that still a large category of young Russians are not very well aware of foreign (in particular - English) so incidents with slogans on clothing found in our time. Topical in fashion for the youth was released from the fashion, using beautiful and clever word in the English language, written on T-shirts. This apparent problem is a misunderstanding of what and how to write teenagers on their clothes, and often what they do not penetrate into the meaning of the inscription. As shown by the above examples and analysis of information, it is very important to understand, accept and broadcast on a T-shirt is what you want to express yourself, and not what is written beautifully.
To do this, you need to raise the level of knowledge of the English language.
