That reminds of when you go to Mexico and mexicans try to make english signs for tourists, and then all the tourists take pictures of the sign and laugh because one of the words they translated makes the sign sound stupid. eg: "You break it, you pay it!"

Do you want a line in our national anthem to sound like it was written by Mexicans that don't speak english?
