Chinglish
A nice glimpse of how Chinese speakers put ideas together is offered by some of the instructions for use of a recently purchased "rubber heat water bag" aka a hot water bottle:
"After filling water, must let the air in the heat water bag out and let the screw tight. Check if there is leak water phenomenon. When the heat water bag is used or storage must avert it to be weight on or stabed, not touch sour, alkali, oil and sunlight shoot."
Sunlight shoot. Nice. We are also warned "The heat water bag should not be put in the display window so long time, especially the display window in the sunlight shoot."
