Much like the selection of language options in Windows XP or Vista, there is English (US), English (UK), now English (Australia), English (Canada), and today English (Japan) - see photo. Sensoji Shrine, Asakusa, Tokyo.
Then there is Chinese English, from a signage to swimming pool at our apartment complex in Beijing:
"Entrance Swims Pool Penetrate Sandals Please Wear Swim Cap The Swimmer Enters a Natarorium Thank a Cooperation Please".
Singlish or Strine (Aussie Slang) by comparison is not so bad.
