The President’s re-election campaign on Saturday accidentally bragged about him signing “an anti-Semetic [sic] executive order” before cleaning up the mess a few hours later.
On my bookshelf sits “The Elements of Editing” by Arthur Plotnik, and on page 41 it lists the things to make sure of if time is tight, and the list concludes with this: “Check any statements that seem absurd or actionable.” It always comes to mind when I read things in print that are absurd or actionable. Idiots.
This. After sending the Iraqis two letters (one in Arabic) that we were planning to leave Iraq. This bumbling will get someone killed and/or escalate tensions somewhere soon.
And Schiff. If the administration didn’t have to devote so much time to the Impeachment Hoax it could devote more energy to reading stuff and making sure it doesn’t say the opposite of what they mean before they press the button to upload it.
Quick follow-up, in typing “semetic” autocorrect changes it to “semitic.”
Assuming autocorrect works on the Trump campaign’s end, too, a human being would have needed to de-correct “semitic” after autocorrect made the edit. THEN the misspelling had to work its way through their review process, again, assuming they have one.
That’s how much work they had to do to get it wrong.
