Lost in Translation: Cryptic Sculpture (Hirshhorn)
http://lostintranslationdc.blogspot.com/2014/06/cryptic-sculpture-hirshhorn.html
Signs, Inscriptions, and Displays in Washington DC. Thursday, June 12, 2014. This mysterious sculpture is entitled "Antipodes" (Sam Sanborn, 1997) and it stands the garden outside the Hirshhorn Museum. This Arts Observer. Provides a good description of the piece with nice images of the work. I took at look at the other half of the sculpture (left-hand side in this photo), which looks like the letters of some Cyrillic script. In Langley, VA. June 13, 2014 at 12:13 AM.

Lost in Translation: DC's Letter-Named Streets (I and Absent J)
http://lostintranslationdc.blogspot.com/2011/03/dcs-letter-named-streets-i-and-absent-j.html
Signs, Inscriptions, and Displays in Washington DC. Thursday, March 3, 2011. DC's Letter-Named Streets (I and Absent J). DC's system for naming its streets is distinctive. Streets running east-west take letter names (A, B, C, etc.) and streets running north-south are numbered (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on). In addition, diagonal avenues are named after US states (for a guide to navigating DC streets, see here. Why is there no "J Street" in DC, you ask? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Lost in Translation: Say what? Chinese Proverb (Chengyu) on Notecard
http://lostintranslationdc.blogspot.com/2013/06/say-what-chinese-proverb-chengyu-on.html
Signs, Inscriptions, and Displays in Washington DC. Sunday, June 2, 2013. Chinese Proverb (Chengyu) on Notecard. I spotted this handwritten notecard in an English/Chinese phrasebook in a used bookstore today. The prior owner (user) of this book has inserted a notecard recording the phrase kǒu chǐ bù qīng. By the way, this phrase is one of many chéng yǔ. One curious convergence of idiomatic expressions across languages is the Chinese expression Hǎo jiǔ bù jiàn! For some useful chéng yǔ.
