The advertisement has an immense
amount of grammatical errors in it. The
banner looked in the beginning to have the word cappuccino spelled “capochinu”
and the word latte spelled “latel”. To make matters worse, it appears that the
business owners that placed the sign on display noticed a few of the banners
errors and attempted to make corrections themselves. After the owner had his
way with the banner, cappuccino became “capachino” and latte became “late.” Never
mind the fact that hot soup is missing a space and has ineffectively been
turned its own new word “hotsoup.” The grammatically correct version of the
advertisement would probably read:
Hot Coffee Available
Here
Cappuccino, Black
Coffee, Café Latte, Tea & Hot Soup
Personally, I would never go near a café
with something like this in front of it. It makes the business look cheap
because they were unwilling to pay to have the changes corrected before putting
in out on display. It also makes the owners look completely incompetent because
they are incapable of spelling the products that they offer correctly. I would
have to assume that this banner is the product of business owners that are not
well-versed in English trying to attract tourists. It looks extremely bad and probably
dissuades most people from going inside.
