Romney misspells 'America' on iPhone app

Source: USA Today

Oops. Mitt Romney's new iPhone app misspells the word "America" and the typo has gone viral.

As Romney clinched the GOP presidential nomination with a victory in Texas last night, his campaign released its "I'm with Mitt" app that allows users to post photos of themselves along with 14 different banners. One of those slogans reads: "A Better Amercia."

The typo lit up Twitter as various people poked fun at what "Amercia" stood for. One example, highlighted by Mashable, "While #Amercia does have a nice ring to it, Romney's developers of "his" app may want to begin looking for new jobs."

Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul told MSNBC that "mistakes happen." She said the campaign has submitted a corrected app to the folks at Apple, which has to approve the new typo-free version.

Amercia! Epic Mitt Romney App Gaffe Goes Viral Online. Mitt Romney launched an official iPhone app Tuesday night — only to find that it came with one glaring, humiliating oversight for his campaign.

Here’s how the free app works: You take a photo, then are able to lay one of 14 “I’m With Mitt” banners over the image. The banners shout slogans such as “I’m a Mom for Mitt.” Then you can post the photo directly to Facebook or Twitter, or email it to a friend. The friend then receives a message reading: “I’m with Mitt Romney in 2012. And here’s a photo showing my support. Check it out!”

The problem? One of the 14 options reads, in fact, “A Better Amercia.” Yes, Amercia. A-M-E-R-C-I-A.

Just a couple hours after the app was officially announced, the Twittersphere and online peanut gallery were already having a field day with the editorial oversight. Obama supporters, media and general snarkmeisters reveled in taking photos with the glitchy app and inserting “Amercia” into some of Romney’s most memorable campaign quotes.
