Wimbledon Twitter gaffe: tell us your most embarrassing errors
Pity poor Georgia Ford, whose innocent inquiry landed her in hot water with the Twitterati. " Is Wimbledon always held in London? " she asked, before being told in no uncertain terms that her question was a bit, well, silly. Many of us have walked in Georgia's shoes, however. Dan Quayle feels his " potatoe " mistake was taken out of context, but we'll let you be the judge of that. Further examples are supplied by members of staff on the Comment is free desk, who recall the senior university lecturer who pronounced "awry" to rhyme with "story" at a graduation speech, or the journalist who believed that St Pancras station was in fact spelt like the digestive organ . What embarrassing public errors will you never live down?
