X Rotisserie Chiken & Wine Baru
Tim says:
There are two problems here. One, “chicken” is misspelled. But secondly, what is a “baru”?? A bar? I did some research and it seems this word sometimes appears in relation to wine, but I don’t think it’s considered English. Because the rest of this sign is in English, I think they should have simply used “bar”.
But, wait. This is yet another example, of two things from different categories being put together, like “book and cafe”. Books are being sold there but cafes are not. In this case, chicken is being sold there, but a wine bar is not; wine is. This sign would make more sense if it mentioned two things that are sold here, or else gave two words that are both in the “place to eat or drink” category:
O Rotisserie Chicken and Wine O Rotisserie Chicken Restaurant and Wine Bar
