Fucking hell “maters” 🍅
I mean, those are the ones actually spelled correctly for the regional dialect.
i cannot believe they wouldn’t go with the obvious “y’allapenos”
I’m not sure if this is the guy I’m thinking of, but at least one roadside vegetable seller does this sort of thing deliberately. After all, a sign with such… unique spelling is much more attention grabbing than a simple list of vegetables.
A lot of them do, especially the secretly commercial stands that are getting all too common. Like the cat says, “you are not immune to
propagandaadvertising”.The consultant and artist who conceived and realized that sign both went to Yale. The company who holds a regulatory-captured monopoly on all Texas roadside produce stands paid their agency $6.5M for this design.
And just because I made this up, doesn’t mean it’s not true.
I think you mean they went to Y’aIl.
they also went to jail, but that’s unrelated
People do it online all the time. Back in reddit days (pre-fediverse), I never saw a front page post without some grammatical or spelling mishap.
Spelling errors were frequent, but they got pushed out of meta by just asking a question.
“Here’s a screenshot from [game]. What’s your favourite?”
…and everyone proceeds to just post their fav game without reading any other comments and the post shoots up to the top of /r/all
I know the exact spot this is from years ago. Its just north of a little town called Lindale (North of Tyler, south of Mineola).
Dudes hallopinos were actually pretty legit. He also had the sign misspelled so poorly because it “gets people’s attention and makes em laugh”.
When you can’t write in your native language but at least you own 12 guns and have a deregulated electrical grid.
AND a superiority complex
its a joke tho
What’s it called when you’re not smart enough to spot an obvious marketing gimmick?
