Confusion? Or just lack of understanding...

So, I was the punching bag for a rant this morning because this tweet...

Tweeter and blogger xiangcool (XIANGcool.com) claims the Sun Newspaper today made a mistake with one of their prints. This was the picture in question.

Now, do you see a mistake?

I think it's quite clear he congratulated his wife of 27 years (not a wife that's 27 years old), no? I am curious, who else thought the paper meant his wife was 27 years of age instead?

After having several people explaining to him what it meant...

I am really intrigued with this. Was it really that confusing? Maybe we shouldn't have reverted our subjects back to Bahasa Malaysia. Maybe there should be a little more balance between the languages taught in schools. Maybe it should be a choice to the students? Interesting discussion, no? (^_^)
