Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the listed co-ordinates.

ENGRISH:

Refers to unusual forms of English language usage originating in some East Asian countries. The term itself satirizes Japanese speakers' tendency to inadvertently substitute the English phonemes "R" and "L" for one another, related to the fact that the Japanese language has one alveolar consonant in place for both. The word is used in Japan, in English letters or katakana.

A piece of Engrish you may well be familiar with is the internet meme "AYBABTU", a poorly translated introduction to a 1991 Sega Mega-Drive game "Zero Wing"


None of the above has any relevance to this puzzle.
