Romney app misspells 'America'

As the 2012 Scripps National Spelling Bee gets underway today, many are scratching their heads at a new Romney photo app that misspells 'America.' The iPhone app allows you to use a photo from your library and brand it with a Mitt message. Among the choices, a stamp that reads "A better Amercia."

  1. After the gaffe was discovered, social media users were quick with the jokes and unforgiving with their comments. 
  2. From a #MittRomney photo app. Horrible typo, man! #Amercia

    Mitt Romney's policies make sense for Amercia, just not America, where the rest of us live.

  13. Tries to be hip and reach out to younger demographics with an app, ends up Quayle-ing himself. #clownshoes #romney #2012 #app

    Romney misspells America: not his mistake, but shows a sloppiness that is worrisome. washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/…
