A Spelling Error Led The Seattle Mariners To Respond To Maine’s Election Results
The entire country had an eye on Maine's election results last night, specific to the Medicaid expansion. Maine passed that expansion, and pundits from around the country took to Twitter to talk about. BUT, there's this funny thing on everyone's smart phone called autocorrect, and autocorrect doesn't recognize MAINERS as a word. It changes to Mariners. And then this happens...
The funny response from the Seattle Mariners was some perfect icing on the cake after the autocorrect fail. To be fair to Andy Slavitt, he responded to his own spelling error almost immediately but the original tweet still stood. Mainers, Mariners...kind of the same thing, right?
