Shashi Tharoor admits he made “typo” in his tweet, users say “rare occasion”
New Delhi: Indian National Congress MP Shashi Tharoor who is often known for his wordsmith skills on Monday admitted that he had made a typing error after a user pointed out his “typo”.
Tharoor who is an MP from Thiruvananthapuram often sends the internet into a tizzy by using rare and uncommon words in English.
In an unusual scenario on Monday, Tharoor made a typing error in his tweet while he was praising star Indian batsman Virat Kohli for his splendid knock against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday at the MCG.
“And this man is both genius & authetic hero! Utterly awesome” Tharoor wrote in his tweet tagging Virat Kohli.
A user Dr. Deepti Ruth Azariah was quick to point out the error to Tharoor. She was, however, confused and wrote “Was surprised, thinking I'd spotted a typo in a @ShashiTharoor tweet, but "authetic" is a real word and makes sense in this context.”
Tharoor however admitted that it was indeed a “typo” and that he meant to write ‘authentic’ in the tweet accidentally tying “authentic” instead.
Some of the users lauded Tharoor for admitting the mistake while also adding only he can confuse people even with typing errors and make them believe that it could mean something.
They also added that it was one of those rare occasions when Tharoor can end up making mistakes while writing a tweet in English.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the event organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) the former president, while referring to Punjab, said the state is a living example of courage, sacrifice and enterprise.
