In the rarest of the rarest circumstances would the twitteratis have experienced this. To our utter dismay, the English teacher of Indian Twitter, Shashi Tharoor, committed a typo in his tweet causing a grammatical error.

Mr. Tharoor, gave the Twitterverse some serious English lessons last year. 

Tharoor kicked off the new year by committing an error and unfortunately a grammatical one.

What happened was that the senior Congress leader took to Twitter to thank those who joined him on his Facebook Live. 

His tweet was : 

Tharoor got trolled for this mistake by all the grammar nazis on twitter including the author and social commentator Suhel Seth.

Seth quoted Tharoor's tweet and wrote :

Well, well, who would have thought this would happen. Wonder what other surprises this new year has in store for us.
