Trump trolled for misspelling "unprecedented" in tweet


CHINA Pirates! Donald Trump accuses China of ‘unprecedented act’ over stolen U S Navy underwater dro

The grammar police on Saturday trolled President-elect Donald Trump for misspelling the word unprecedented as unpresidented, in a tweet about China taking a Navy drone in international waters.

Trump swiftly deleted the tweet and replaced it with one using the correct spelling. But the Twitter account for the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the standard-bearer for English-language words, had already poked fun at Trumps grammar mistake.

Good morning! The#WordOfTheDayis...not "unpresidented". We don"t enter that word. That"s a new one, the company tweeted.

Trump, a Republican and prolific tweeter with 17.4 million followers, has had spelling mistakes in previous tweets.

Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy also pounced on Twitter.

This is madness. A 7:30am Saturday escalation of diplomatic crisis w China via Twitter, w misspelling, he posted.
