This could be the best correction in the history of the twitter [dot] com.
NPR confused the Spanish words “ano” and “año” in this article on “the year of the woman” and Mexico’s elections…
We deleted this tweet due to the use of the incorrect Spanish phrase to say "the year of the woman." The phrase is "el año de la mujer." pic.twitter.com/91aLahQ24Y

…yes, NPR … tell us more about “el ano de la mujer,” or as it’s translated, “the anus of the woman.”
???
Let me explain:
El año de la mujer = The year of the woman.
El ano de la mujer = The anus of the woman

“El ano de la mujer”
Why we need the Ñ. Oh, and Latinos in newsrooms! https://t.co/i722ttOOOr

ano = anus
año = year
Tildes matter.
So does diversity in a newsroom. https://t.co/Ty5ckbL5tq— ǝlʇʇʎl ɐssılǝɯ (@melissalyttle) June 30, 2018
