Making sense of English

I was reading CNN.com which is like my daily newspaper update, and saw this ad on the side. It didn't make sense to me.

"In 10 years time most of the world's car will be manufactured in China."

I am assuming they mean "world's cars," but then I started thinking, hey, this is a huge media organization, and they probably don't make mistakes like this. So maybe they are talking about a collective car owned by the entire world - the world's car - sort of like a college car owned by a bunch of roommates.

If that's the case, can I borrow it on Thursday?

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
