For the third time in a week Mitt Romney's web team has goofed up on the spelling of a simple word, opening the door for a heroic copywriter to save Amer... ica. This one was spotted by the appropriately named @typohunter on Twitter, who discovered this "offical" goof on Romney's Facebook page. Three is a trend, right?
No writer who lives in mortal fear of embarrassing typos can be too gleeful about this — see if you can find a mistake in this post! — but it is a disturbing trend for the supposedly detail-obsessed candidate. Luckily, the campaign is already on the case. They currently have a job posting on LinkedIn for a full-time copyeditor.
