Whoops!
Yahoo Finance accidentally sent out a tweet which included a racial slur. The tweet was about Trump’s intentions for the navy and accidentally included the word bigger with an “n”, rather than a “b”.
It’s an easy mistake to make considering they’re beside each other on the keyboard but the swapping of letter meant something very different.
They managed to delete the tweet 20 minutes later but it didn’t stop people from taking a screenshot and sharing it again.
Yahoo Finance just took the biggest L of 2017 with this tweet and it’s only January 6th pic.twitter.com/9C3G5BWZtZ

Yahoo later apologised for the tweet:
We deleted an earlier tweet due to a spelling error. We apologize for the mistake.
