Was just going through my pics and remembering our year in the DR when I came across these pics I thought you may enjoy.

For those that don't know, For Sale in spanish is Se Vende. Because V's are pronounced as B's in the DR, and given the low literacy rate, it is pronounced...and spelled...Se Bende on many occassions.

Ouch Marc!

As a member of The Grammar and Spelling Police I came here ready to arrest you. You are not accused of anything, but now you are a witness to a crime. Please accompany us and we will, er, kindly ;) interrogate you.

Got any more of those?

I am going to look for more of these, too

I once told Freddy Beras about a sign I saw on Calle Barahona, just past Juana Saltitopa:

Aqui se forran ebiyas
Y curan pecho pretao
