I saw some excellent misspellings of Spanish words into English at Barajas airport. I took a few notes: "Fire guns" instead of 'firearms' or 'hand guns' and "Skies" instead of 'skis." These made me laugh. First, I was really tired from the flight and second, I read an article in El País a few months ago about the Spanish government's ambitions to curb 'Spanglish' from official signs. Perhaps nobody from the government collects their luggage at Belt 1, which is where I saw the misspellings.
It seems a bit mean spirited to hunt for more. But! I probably will, anyway.
