Just an FYI, the cached version isn’t working.
Is it because your differents?
Fixed – Thank you – HK

*you’re
Stupid fingers.
April 4, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Don’t be too grammatical — it just looks funny with the rest of the sentence. Maybe I should have said to grammary?
April 4, 2011 at 2:23 pm
It still doesn’t work for me
Maybe we are not so similarity after all?
April 5, 2011 at 5:43 am
It’s “for your fyi.”
April 4, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Sigh. A really pathetic part of me kinda wants that poster…
April 4, 2011 at 1:46 pm
No wonder the rest of the world doesn’t take our educational system seriously! Look what folks put up on the internet!
April 4, 2011 at 1:48 pm
OK, I meant that one to be a new comment, not a reply. (Stupid mouse) Sorry about that – no insult directed to you, ptpw!
April 4, 2011 at 1:51 pm
ha ha! It’s ok, after I saw your post I had to double check my post to see where I failed in my grammar/spelling!
April 4, 2011 at 2:31 pm
If you’re talking about America, in this one blessed instance the illiterate seller is not American.
April 4, 2011 at 2:32 pm
She’s(?) Latvian, so no worries. We won’t blame you guys on this one.

I know. As a poor college student I usually can’t afford all the fuckery, but $10 I could manage. I wish they hadn’t changed it. RAWR!!
April 4, 2011 at 2:24 pm
You could just have the image file printed out, and then send $10.00 to the Regretsy charity fund.
April 4, 2011 at 4:10 pm
As another poor college student who is also interested in the poster, I feel your pain.
I decided to e-mail the seller telling her that there is interest in the poster in the original format. Hopefully she’ll put it back up!
April 4, 2011 at 1:45 pm
This is perfect!! I like to focus on how similarity I am to people. I also like how this phrase was used multipurpose!
April 4, 2011 at 1:45 pm
I was just thinking that!
April 4, 2011 at 4:56 pm
you CAN use multi purpose
look at all those differents uses!
oh! …remember “know question is to dum!!”
April 4, 2011 at 1:45 pm
It boggles the mind how similarity we are!
I like your versions better!
April 4, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Holy shit go visit the shop and look at all the “Keep Calm…” posters. It may be the mother lode.
April 4, 2011 at 1:47 pm
And by mother lode I mean like four. I thought I saw more, but they all blur together I guess.
April 4, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Surprised it wasn’t keep clam.
April 4, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Keep Clam and Celebrate Our Differents? I would totally buy that.
April 4, 2011 at 2:46 pm
This is the inevitable portion of our program where Mistletoe says “This needs to be on a shirt!”
April 4, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Oh, yes! That would be my Christmas gift for…um…somebody else.
April 4, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Mmmmm…I now wish I could get good Pacific Northwest seafood–major downside to living in TX. ‘Keep clam’ is the motto of Ivar’s seafood restaurants…
April 4, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Ah yes, good Pacific Northwest glow-in-the-dark seafood from Ivar’s.
I believe I’ll take some sparkles and potassium iodide with that!
April 4, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Is there a Keep Calm and Never Bother with an Original Design one in there? Because someone should make that.
April 4, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Im actually legitimately upset that the original poster is removed because I wouldve bought as many copies as humanly possible. (I have a Siamese and my friend and fellow Regretsy fan has a chihuahua). DAMMIT! Im going to start a petition to bring back our differents!
April 4, 2011 at 2:01 pm
I seriously wanted to buy it, too. Damn.
April 4, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Request a custom print from the seller?
April 4, 2011 at 2:54 pm
I would have bought the fuck out of that poster.
April 5, 2011 at 1:54 am
I just bought one, I think the seller has cottoned on to the whole regretsy thing and they are back up in all their glory!
April 5, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Judging from the cat’s head shape and fur texture, I think it’s a sealpoint Devon Rex. A differents breed from Siamese, but looks very similarity!
April 4, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Another try at a cache version!
April 4, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Maybe it doesn’t work because too many people try and click on them and google doesn’t like that kind of stuff?
April 4, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Not sure. The one I posted still works for me and I even tested it in IE, which I never use, so I know I hadn’t seen it in there yet. Maybe it caches what IP you first get to it from.
April 4, 2011 at 2:18 pm
maybe… Does it show the same as the first image in this post?

Should have had a third grader check that over before wasting the ink….
April 4, 2011 at 1:50 pm
I want a version for the theory of similarity — physics deserves bandwagoning, too!
April 4, 2011 at 1:51 pm
April 4, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Inconceivable!
April 4, 2011 at 2:43 pm
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
April 4, 2011 at 2:02 pm
INCONCEIVABLE!!!
April 4, 2011 at 2:48 pm
Actually that could be used to describe the monkey-creature in the previous listing.
April 4, 2011 at 1:52 pm
As big a fan of respecting differents and acknowledging mine and others similarity, I must know:
Can you change the size of the smell?
April 4, 2011 at 1:53 pm
I would say the similaritys outweigh the differentses here:
Cat = not dog
Chihuahua = not dog
True they are technically different species, but the motivation is essentially the same.

They may be polar opposites, but damn it Hillary Duff and Usher make a cute couple.
April 4, 2011 at 3:48 pm
I suppose they’re the Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown of their generation. Let’s hope it doesn’t end in drugs, beatings, and other fuckery.
April 4, 2011 at 4:13 pm
oh shit, then i’m wearing the same shirt as hillary duff right now!
April 4, 2011 at 1:57 pm
C’mon people, you hardly expect dogs and cats to write perfect English?
On a side note how could somebody expect to sell prints with text when they can’t speak the language? Who is their target audience – Chinese etsians that sell those similarly comprehensible wall decals?
April 4, 2011 at 2:05 pm
I think the lesson here is that the United States does not have a monopoly on stupid. How do you say, “Google translate is not unerring” in Chinese?
April 4, 2011 at 2:10 pm
I don’t think they used google translate… I think it’s just English as a second language in primary school…
Yet maybe they ARE hoping that US does have a monopoly on stupid and would buy it for the cuteness of the animals regardless of text?
April 4, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Yep, she’s targeting Americans…
April 4, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Well, even that is NOT an excuse. English was actually my second foreign language in school and I think I do ok.
Mostly.
April 4, 2011 at 3:28 pm
Hey, I speak pretty poor French, but you don’t see me trying to sell posters to French people.
Then again, maybe I should try it.
April 5, 2011 at 12:25 pm
That’s a good point. The point about the stupid monopoly still holds, though.
April 4, 2011 at 2:01 pm
Hey, this is pretty passable lolcatspeak (if a bit insufficiently mangled). If the seller hadn’t changed it I would’ve suspected they did it on purpose!
April 4, 2011 at 10:00 pm
For lolcat speak, it needs to at least spell differents “difrintz” or something like that, right? At any rate, it at least needs a z or two.
April 4, 2011 at 2:02 pm
This ISN’T a poor attempt at lolspeak? This is just plain ole derp?
Whoa.
Please extend that whoa to include Elton’s fabric choices, which always dazzle.
April 4, 2011 at 2:04 pm
i have been in just a terrible mood lately, and for some reason the world has given me so much cheerful, inspiration herp derping today.
this came to my attention just before i cruised over here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQTW7Pd1vqc

He was a philosopher and is very quotable. I’m not seeing the problem with “an animal’s eyes”. Are you suggesting that “eyes” should be singular? Because most animals I’m aware of have two.

April 4, 2011 at 5:01 pm
I’m going to assume English is not your first language, because you are deeply mistaken here. “A mother’s hands” is absolutely correct, as is “an animal’s eyes”.
“An” goes with “animal”, not “eyes”. It means “the eyes of an animal”.

Just out of curiosity, how do you think it should be said…?
April 4, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Oh, never mind, I see you answered that above.
“Animal’s eyes” doesn’t work without an article. “Animals’ eyes” would work, but changes the meaning.

If you read my previous post, I noticed that.
Grammar is not a matter of opinion. You’re correcting someone because she didn’t follow a rule you just made up.

April 4, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Sounds like Toki from Dethklock. I can hear it, “We ares so Differents..” ha.
April 4, 2011 at 3:13 pm
What cans you has the least?
April 4, 2011 at 2:08 pm
I am admittedly a grammar/spelling snob, but from this whole post the most offensive thing is Justin Bieber’s hair. However, I might be able to tolerate it if he was wearing Elton’s suit.
April 4, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Doesn’t he look especially awful/silly there? Bieber’s hair is the most asinine fashion affectation I have seen in years. Yes, worse than than wearing your fucking baseball cap at an angle..(maybe.)
Only the fauxhawk/forwardcomb douchebag from “Ghost Adventures” looks more like an idiot.
Thank god Bieber finally got it cut and now looks merely ridiculous. That picture actually makes me feel a little violent towards the little dweeb.
Not good.
April 5, 2011 at 11:59 am
I was cutting my son’s hair on sunday and he asked me to give him a bieber cut. “Sure, we can do that! WHOOPS! Scissors slipped! Maybe next time.”
April 4, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Apparently correct grammar is worth $2 more. It’s a shame, because I rather liked the original sentiment.
Plus, I’m broke in addition to fat and jealouse, so can’t afford the extra $2.
April 4, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Thanks for pointing it out, gave me an extra LOL. Some rare people do seem to realize they can cash in on being featured on regretsy. Unfortunately that means we will not see a scary Engrish legal threat from this seller – that would surely be fun to read.
April 4, 2011 at 2:26 pm
April 4, 2011 at 2:31 pm
YES! This is my new anit-racism slogan. I think this needs to be framed and posted EVERYWHERE during “Diversity Awareness Week” where my husband works.
I think I love you, angrierthanyou.
April 4, 2011 at 3:54 pm
I would buy the hell out of that poster! It would look awesome in my classroom!
April 4, 2011 at 8:07 pm
I hope its not grammar class!
April 4, 2011 at 2:29 pm
I guess it was easier to find a new quote than to fix the mistakes.
Also, I’m trying to figure out how it can be shipped from Latvia for $3 and still be “carefully packed”, when what I consider the U.S. equivalent for any paper item (Priority Mail document envelope) would cost around $4 just within the country. I’m guessing what the seller means is “carefully folded, shoved in an envelope and sent over on the next boat”.
April 4, 2011 at 3:36 pm
There are other shipping options besides Priority Mail, you know (well maybe not on Etsy)… First class being one of them.
April 4, 2011 at 7:52 pm
But do those shipping options make pretty pictures in listings for the Finds hen to peck? That’s what really matters!
April 4, 2011 at 2:35 pm
There is silver lining in everything.
This is at least cute, unlike that horrendous “ape” doll… Engrish.com anyone?
April 4, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Almost anything is better than that doll. I had to stay off the site until April posted something else. I’ve had enough hauntings for the day.
April 4, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Count me as another who’s really disappointed that this one isn’t available anymore.
Somebody else make one like it for ten bucks and I’ll buy it.
April 5, 2011 at 1:44 am
Just go to her store, there are about 3 back up for sale now
April 5, 2011 at 10:02 am
And they now cost $12 instead of $10.
April 16, 2011 at 11:48 pm
I noticed that too…
April 4, 2011 at 2:49 pm
Maybe it’s an engrish/spanglish thing? i mean, it is a siamese kitty and a Chihuahua.
April 4, 2011 at 3:17 pm
April 4, 2011 at 3:17 pm
As to not make more language errors, her new version leaves the proper semantics up to the cat and dog.

April 4, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Was this tagged “steampunk” because, you know Differents Engines are totally steampunk.
April 4, 2011 at 3:59 pm
We are so differents
But we are so similarity
April 4, 2011 at 4:00 pm
OK, so next time one of these things comes up, can we get a secret notification so we can go buy it before the seller fixes it? I would so have bought this, just as I would so have bought that wall decal that said “You feel up my sense like a sleepy blue ocean,” and the “I will love you tell the end of time” sign.
You’re ruining it for the rest of us who don’t have time to look for these fabulous finds.
April 4, 2011 at 4:01 pm
Posts like this make me fall in love with you more and more, Helen killer… *Sigh*
April 4, 2011 at 4:03 pm
If i were artistic, I would join this text to the pictures of ceramic bowls + the cover of a certain romance novel
April 4, 2011 at 4:16 pm
How disappointed I was to see that they changed the quote, or this would have been mine. Apparently, correcting the grammar was worth two extra bucks?
April 4, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Always good to spread the message of Peas, Glove and Hermonie
April 4, 2011 at 5:20 pm
I just want to say THANK YOU! for making my day! I love this place.
April 4, 2011 at 5:33 pm
You know, I’m actually rather fond of this rehash- http://www.etsy.com/listing/62494900/keep-calm-parody-giclee-art-print-no-2?ref=sr_gallery_15&ga_search_query=keep+calm&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=
I may need that.
April 4, 2011 at 5:39 pm
LOL- yes- that is definitely a treasure.
April 4, 2011 at 5:37 pm
Funny my friend who hates dogs just met her first Chiuaua (sp?) the other day and called me in a tizzy saying, “I need to get a Chiuaua now! They’re like a cat, but they’re not, they’re a dog! They’re so similar though!”
April 4, 2011 at 6:56 pm
April 4, 2011 at 7:20 pm
That is far far far too awesome. I love it!
April 4, 2011 at 7:50 pm
PLEASE PUT THIS IN THE ZAZZLE STORE. I’LL NEED THIS ON A MUG TO COMPLIMENT MY “I MADE THIS HAPPEN IN MY ARTISTIC ABILITY” TOTE BAG.
April 4, 2011 at 7:57 pm
I think this is actually really charming… I love mistranslations with a lot of sincerity behind them..
it seems like the little chihuahua wrote this poster slogan..
the cat does not look entirely convinced……
April 4, 2011 at 9:41 pm
Celebrate divertency.
April 5, 2011 at 1:42 am
I think I need one of these. RIGHT NOW
April 5, 2011 at 5:37 am
I think this is so stinkin’ cute! It seems to be an obvious typo….like LOLspeak. LOVE it.
April 6, 2011 at 1:00 pm
I received an e-mail back from her and she put it back up! It has since sold, but she put another one up:
