Brazil’s education minister has been ridiculed on social media for making a spelling mistake on Twitter. Abraham Weintraub, who is responsible for schools and universities in Latin America’s biggest country, misspelled the Portuguese word for “amazing” in a tweet published Tuesday evening. Instead of “impressionante,” Weintraub wrote “imprecionante.”“The fact that the education minister wrote ‘imprecionante’ reflects the reality of Brazilian education,” wrote one Twitter user. Another quipped: “It’s ‘imprecionante’ that he is the education minister.’Weintraub later deleted the tweet. In the Instagram message deliberately riddled with spelling mistakes, Hang said that “only those who do nothing do not make mistakes.”AFP
