Yahoo Finance tweeted a story Thursday, reflecting President-elect Donald Trump's belief that the United States should build a bigger Navy, USA Today reported. The problem: Instead of starting the word "bigger" with a "B," it began with an "N," located to the right of the "B" on the keyboard.

And the typo for "bigger" was a trigger for some people on Twitter, who offered sarcastic opinions about the mistake.

The hard lesson learned: Always spell check and read carefully before hitting that "send" button.
