Introduction to this blog

Welcome! this blog is about misspelled words on signs around the streets that I have found. I don't mean to embarrass people or make anyone feel bad, I just think it's kind of funny and hopefully you will too. I'm certainly not perfect in spelling and grammar but I do have some experience in writing so I do enjoy the "correct" (or shall I call it official for the social linguists?) use of language.

I will also show pictures of signs in Spanish but I will explain. Feel free to send pictures at denisefixcat [at] gmail.com

This first picture of the blog I found on a restaurant window:


****
Traducción literal: Contratar una señora, hablar buen Ingles. Obvio que la necesitan!!!

Espero no ofender con este nuevo blog que he decidido enfocar al uso "incorrecto" del lenguaje, tanto del ingles como del español, que son los dos idiomas que yo conozco y en los que tengo algo de experiencia escribiendo. El lenguaje se aprende y se vive. Este anuncio lo encontré afuera de un restaurante. Si tienen alguna foto con lenguaje chusco o curioso mandenla a denisefixcat [arroba] gmail.com
