To be fair though... We can all still read and understand it.

Tater+Maters is actually a pretty cool way to get Potatoes and Tomatoes together on one line but still have them as separate items. And "Bail Pepr" is an interesting one because you can't help but read it in the accent it's presumably spoken with.

I think this is an interesting sign. It is certainly funny in its own sort of slice-of-life way, but I'm also not big on picking on people who can't write or read to the same level as others.

Of course, this could also be intentional lol

As a non native English speaker : smashing X to doubt

Apologies, I wasn't careful with my words. By "we" I meant native or fluent speakers/readers of the language this is written in (English). I can totally see how that would be different for people who aren't as familiar with English ✌️

As a native English speaker, I just thought it was a different language entirely until I read the title.
