The Most Hilarious Misspellings of Gorsuch on Twitter

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump nominated judge Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court. Gorsuch is an originalist judge in the mold of Antonin Scalia, the justice he would be replacing. But if you type his name, autocorrect might change it to “Grouch.”

This “Grouch” spelling is the gift that keeps on giving, and here are examples from across Twitter of people spelling the name wrong, without realizing it!

First, here’s New York Times Washington Bureau reporter Michael Tackett.

And Media Matters’ Alex Morash couldn’t keep him straight.

Peter Wehner, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and contributor to the New York Times, gets it right the first time, but then Gorsuch becomes “Grouch.”

I do love it when people joke about autocorrect changing “Gorsuch” to “Grouch.”

Both @bennyjohnson and I had this before 8 pm. More important, the nominee's name is not "Grouch." https://t.co/ApF5rmV5xQ
