In Beijing, a campaign was recently launched, which focused on incorrect English usage. As a result, 1,000 mistakes were turned up by the locals. For example, Welcome was mistakenly used as Welcome to come.
Campaign organizers asked residents to look out for incorrect English in their local areas and send in examples. In one month about 400 residents spotted errors and reported them to the campaign organized by a local newspaper and Olympic worldwide partner Kodak.

At the same time, it also encouraged us to learn more and improve our English. I hope through our efforts Beijing will be a real metropolis (大都市) to receive foreigners during the 2008 Olympic Games.
