'Whoops!' Nikki Haley tweet with 'unfortunate cut-off' deleted and replaced

@nikkihaley @justinjarrett unfortunate cut-off

The inherent problem with writing tweets that exceed the Twitter maximum is that the cutoff can be at a spot that can drastically change the meaning, as this now deleted tweet from South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley’s account demonstrates:

That’s much better.

Because this happened on Twitter, a hashtag is of course a necessity:

Slow clap.
