The esteemed French tennis venue Roland Garros made a bit of an embarrassing gender blunder today when congratulating the women’s world no.1.
Everyone who works in the big bad world that is online media will know that spelling mistakes happen to everyone at some point (see here), but as the Twitter account manager at Roland Garros recently found out, some are more embarrassing than others… Eagle eyed JOE reader Conor McManus managed to screen-grab this Tweet from Roland Garros before it was removed.Bit of a gender cock-up (no pun intended!) there by Roland Garros (cc @JOEdotie @ballsdotie) pic.twitter.com/Nvt6W4sUld — Conor McManus (@ConorMcManus87) August 12, 2013In fairness to Roland Garros, they quickly amended the Tweet, but this is the interweb and nothing ever gets fully deleted from it. Just ask Beyonce…
