JimLur, Mods are entitled to comment on moderation, as journalists are allowed to comment on on-going cases in the Justice Department while members of Justice are not supposed to. CEOs have rights to make company announcements while employees (think whistle-blowers) are not supposed to in some cases.
It was a public announcement out of consideration for posters, you fool.
Donald Trump graduated from high school. And college. He has lived a pampered life surrounded by servants and sycophants, but he can read and is capable of spelling commonplace English words. The White House surely employs any number of people capable of proofreading and editing. And Trump himself certainly owns up-to-date electronics that include standard spell-checkers and auto-correct features that catch normal typos and grammar errors.
Why, then, are his tweets so full of errors?
Because it helps him with his base, primarily made up of the less-well-educated.Who actually do make spelling errors all the time. And hate getting called out for it. Trump spells badly on purpose. Mark it down. He communicates with millions of Americans on his own all the time, and chooses how to spell the things he spells for a reason.
And this is a not-small number of people. It’s estimated that more than 30 million Americans cannot read or write above a third-grade level. Other studies indicate that Americans actually prefer to read roughly two grade levels below their reading level (the overall average reading level in the nation is around a 9th grade level). They may not understand the policy . They may have no idea what the issue du jour is about.
