A tweet published early Friday morning by President Donald Trump got flak from the Merriam-Webster dictionary because of its multiple typos and grammatical errors.

In a tweetstorm criticizing the "LameStream Media" and its coverage of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., Trump wrote that he used the word "Liddle', not Liddle, in discribing" Schiff, emphasizing the apostrophe after the word "Liddle."

"Low ratings @CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!" he continued.

After Trump's tweet, Merriam-Webster slyly tweeted explanations of what a hyphen and apostrophe is, "for those looking up punctuation early on a Friday morning."

The multiple errors in his tweet did not go unnoticed and uncorrected by grammar perfectionists: Trump referred to an apostrophe as a hyphen and misspelled "describing" and "little." It is unclear whether the latter error is an intentional typo in the vein of "covfefe."

This isn't the first time Merriam-Webster has poked fun of a typo in a Trump tweet. A since-deleted tweet from Trump in 2018 confused the homophones "pore" and "pour."

Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, leads the charge to investigate claims made by an unidentified whistleblower that Trump tried to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
