Spanglish Example Photo: FREE EXIT

Spanglish Example Photo: FREE EXIT

This is a Spanglish sign posted in Puerto Rico.

“SALIDA AUTOMATICA” has been translated to “FREE EXIT.” The correct translation would be “automatic exit”.

I’d like to award some Spanglish bonus points for the use of “beeper” in the phrase “No ultilizar beeper para salir” (Do not use a beeper to exit). That is true Puerto Rican style Spanglish! The correct Spanish term would be control remoto.
