Trump's official inauguration poster has glaring typo:
Since I've gone there (or they're or their, if you prefer), I may as well put this here, too (two?):
Education Department flunks spelling:
It's funny. But it's also pretty goddamn embarrassing. The Du Bois typo is even more embarrassing than it might otherwise be, given that it came in the midst of Black History Month.
ETA:
We are doomed. Dooooooomed.
President Trump’s official inauguration portrait offered by the Library of Congress had a glaring typo on it, social media users pointed out Sunday evening.
The print of Trump, which was sold on the Library of Congress’s website, includes a quote from the president — but misspells “too” as “to.”
“No dream is too big, no challenge is to great. Nothing we want for the future is beyond our reach,” the quote reads on the poster.
The page selling the print was removed Sunday evening at some point between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.
On the original page, the Library of Congress described the print as one that “captures the essence of Donald Trump's campaign for the presidency of the United States.”
Social media users were quick to point out the error.

Education Department flunks spelling:
In quoting civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois, the Department of Education on Sunday sent out a tweet misspelling his name. And then it sent out an apology that misspelled the word "apologies."
"Education must not simply teach work - it must teach life. – W.E.B. DeBois," the Department of Education tweeted at 8:45 a.m.
The Twitter account rewrote the tweet over three hours later, correcting the spelling of Du Bois' name, followed by a tweet saying: "Post updated - our deepest apologies for the earlier typo."
That tweet also had a spelling error, with it first saying "apologizes" rather than "apologies."
