Pono Market in Kapa'a Hawaii has one of da best plate lunches on Kaua'i... |
Pono, Not Porno
The Hawaiian word pono does not work well on spell check, pono is a frequently used Hawai'ian word that means righteous.
Many people in Hawaii use popular Hawaiian words such as Aloha, A Hui Hou, Mahalo and pono mixed in with everyday conversation.
I recently used the word pono in an email, the spell-check on my computer corrected it to porno, I wasn't paying attention and the email was sent with the word porno where pono should had been.
This was an email about the great places to buy a plate lunch on Kauai. It was intended for a woman I just met on e-harmony. I wrote, "I want you to know I enjoy the Pono market." It read after spell-check, "I want you to know I enjoy the Porno market."
Needless to say because of Spell check I no longer have the potential of this person as a soul mate, although I highly recommend the Pono market for one the best plate lunches on Kaua'i.
