Grammar is hard! The ‘Today’ show ran a segment on the oh-so-pressing issue of men and their hole-riddled underwear and upped the mockery factor by having a homophone problem.

Hoping someone got a screencap of that @TODAYshow segment with a picture of a pair of briefs and the caption "MEN AND THERE UNDERWEAR"

@TODAYshow: Had a short (sic) on men's underwear. While the spot aired, the TV screen read "Men And There Underwear." THERE???

Tuned into @TODAYshow to read "Men and THERE Underwear" 1. I don't care about holey undies. 2. PROOFREAD!! Isn't society dumbed down enough?

@TODAYshow just used the wrong "there". It should have been "men and THEIR underwear". Come onnn. #nerdstatus

And an exit suggestion:

Hey Today Show – hire me to be an editor. I could fix headlines like "Men and There Underwear"! #OrangeRoom
