O MAY ZING sign at Circle K on 5-15-22--Vung Tau copy






Help wanted sign at Circle K, a Canadian chain of convenience stores. Notice the intrusion of English into Vietnamese. "Ờ-Mây-Zing" is a transliteration of "amazing," and there's also "job," of course. For the first time, I'm hearing many Vietnamese greeting each other with "hello," as in, "Hello, Lan!"
