I know what you’re thinking, and no, Corona isn’t spelled differently in Spanish.

  1. The sign is fine. It was taken at the home of Cornona Friday, right?

  2. Well, damn! They spelled it wrong right above the logo which has the correct spelling. That takes a special level of idiocy.

    Also, you missed the extraneous apostrophe in “Friday’s”.

  3. I don’t feel like the “Friday’s” should be possessive. Am I wrong? Also, since they wrote the rest of it in Spanish, why not use viernes? Pick a language…or lanaguage…

  4. I think the apostrophe in “Friday’s” is also incorrect. By Google Translate, the sign now reads, “Welcome to Friday’s Crown!!!” I think the intent is for it to say, “Welcome to Corona Fridays!!!”

  5. Maybe it is on a Friday’s restaurant so, that would make it a play on words… kinda.

  6. We were under the impression that it was a “T.G.I. Friday’s” restaurant, which is why we didn’t dock them points for the apostrophe. They’re not welcoming you to the day of the week — they’re welcoming you to the restaurant.

  7. This sign was found at bar and grill not affiliated with T.G.I.Fridays. On a side note – how dare you suggest I would dine at a chain restaurant?

  8. …and I even left out the apostrophe in my reply. For shame!

  9. I believe that in Spanish the exclamation marks should also be used in inverted form at the beginning of the sentence.

    Of course, this is becoming less common in the modern internet era, but ¿should we cut them some slack for that? ¡NO!
