This is what happens with all the technological advances, and we rely so much on software, as in this case, labelling the colour of a sofa. A direct entry from an out of date dictionary from a Chinese software company into their translation engine caused this furore with the family who found the error of the description. I’m not even going to mention the word in this entry, you’ll have to read the article yourself. But is this another form of Chinglish and/or Chinese ignorance?
