"YO-YO" in Paradise is my acronym for "You're On Your Own". This is not a site for tourist info on Costa Rica. It's just some Tales and Tattles of my experiences, observations, and the ups and downs of every day living by the Pacific Coast in Costa Rica.
There is an identical sign to this one on the main highway. Just what is "Tittled"?
I have dozens of photos of misspelled signs.
Actually, I did a spell check on "dinning" and it's correctly spelled!
What do I know anyway... I need to check the dictionary too, huh?

"Dinning" is, indeed, a word...but I don't think it's what the restaurant is trying to advertise!
As for "tittled"...hmmm.

tittled is like 'titled'........except that it carries a..............2500% mark up in price ROFL
I loved that first sign - I have wanted to take a picture of it every time we passed it because my nieces thought it was so funny, but I've yet to do it. I never thought to look up dinning. I love typos - Chinese restaurant menus are often fun for that.
Sometimes those misspellings appear in the good ol' US too. My personal favorite is 'New Milleniun Pizza.' I can understand misspellings in CR, but it seems almost inexcusable in the US!
oh arp
It pisses me off beyond belief because they totally throw me off.
I mean, when English is your second language...you might think that's the actual spelling of the word
and at least on the internet people totally misuse....stuff like there/their, loose/lose you get the idea
I take photos of misspelled signs because I think it's cute, how they think it's "spelt" using their native tongue. "Fourniture", for instance. got that....
I'll have to look for that photo!
True story
When I was in highschool, I was at the bus stop waiting for my ride home.
This guy, selling misc items (those of you from CR know what I am talking about) was walking down the sidewalk........singing out loud his favorite song
"du du du......another one papitosty"
well.....papi tosty........used to be a local brand of fried potatoes (Think stuff like Tostitos)
what song was that?
another one bites the dust.......
another one bites the bust= another one papi tosty???? LOL
Sounds like a phrase that could be used for Wachovia today.
