The Globe quickly owned up to the typo and explained why it won’t delete the tweet, which is commendable:
As policy we does not delete typographical errors on Twitter, but do correct #investifarted https://t.co/lT5Bz7WP6f https://t.co/x4UGGA3RSE

It is actually incredibly professional and cool of The Globe to not delete this (they posted a correction) https://t.co/45zECFyxRQ

Come on, how can I see "investifarted" and NOT chortle?? My humor is not dissimilar to that of an eight-year-old. https://t.co/R7B6tqSCf1

The FBI is off to a good fart, but sulfur they haven't found any connections. Time to stop methane around and step on the gas! @BostonGlobe
