Hey Peer!
Absolutely..
Its not hilarious, rather as a trainer we need to explain why the sentences as wrong and by giving reasons you have done so.
Great work :)
some more:
using the ing form for most words like I am having a car, instead of I have a Car.

Dear All,
Its good article to read . Well whenever we visit any govt office and enquire about something so these govt officials ofetn use this sentence "Mdam ,what is your good name" they are translating it from hindi to english apka shubnaam kya hain ?
But , in Enlgish there is no good or bad name as such .. Its very common mistake .
Another mistake is people forget when there is present tense in question ? It should be did and verb in the first form??
ncoret form-- Did you went over there?
Correct form -- Did you go over there?
We accept it that we are not the native speakers of English but Britishers ruled us for 200 years and our Enlglish is far better than Chinese and Japanese . The best way to is to imprive Englsih is read newspapaper, magazine and think for a while before you speak or say someting.
Cheers

Another one that comes to mind is " Please Revert Back " Revert & Back mean the same thing.

Hi,
In office,while we ask a customer or a client, we usually say
"You like to have some coffee?"
or
What would you like to have?Coffee or Tea? ...
or someting like that,instead we can ask
Care for some coffee? or Care for some cuppa?
