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.

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

Aqui se forran ebiyas
Y curan pecho pretao
