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.

Passengers on board Air India flight from Copenhagen to Delhi fight over armrest space
Mumbai, Dec 22: Two passengers on board a Delhi-bound Air India flight from Copenhagen (Denmark) came to blows over armrest space just when the aircraft was about to land at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Sunday, a source said.
The flight landed at around 7.35 am.
An Air India official said that the passengers had an argument over some issue at its Copenhagen-Delhi flight of Saturday which was later sorted out "amicably".
According to the source, "The two passengers started an argument over the armrest space in economy class when the cabin crew was serving food and beverages, which turned into a heated exchange. The cabin crew pacified them by giving one of the passengers another seat.
"However, when the aircraft was about to land in Delhi, the passenger came to collect his baggage from the seat he was sitting earlier, they again started the fight and came to blows."
The number of passengers on board the Boeing 787-8 aircraft, operating AI 158 (Copenhagen-Delhi) could not be known.
The source, however, said that the flight was almost full.
When contacted, an Air India official said, "There was an argument between the two passengers over some issue but it was resolved amicably. They even shook hands before leaving the airport."
