Tuvieran or tuvieron?
Hola a tod@s! Un amigo acaba de visitar al Alhambra y encontró este dicho en la puerta de los aseos, y quiere saber si lo copió de forma correcta. ¿Es correcta? Gracias por adelantado (disculpad si es un poco vulgar):
Si los taxistas no tuvieran madre no habria hijos de Puta Si las Putas no tuvieran hijos no habria taxistas aseos del Alhambra a Granada |

It looks grammatically correct to me. It is tuvieran, an imperfect subjunctive expressing an allegedly hypothetical situation.

Perikles, ¿no vas a poner acentos sobre las íes de habría? (Por favor, no me mates; sólo estaba de broma. )

You don't really expect accents in graffiti do you? Anyway - I said the sentence was grammatically correct, and accents are part of spelling.

Also, why is 'puta' written with capital P?
Don't answer

Well... in Spanish, when you capitalize something, you emphasize and/or make it an "absolute" like, "verdad" and "Verdad"... Well, the same with the P.
Probably the cab drivers there don't have a very good image... (or someone was not happy with the fare...) Si yo tuviera la respuesta a todas las preguntas... no preguntaría nada...
