A teacher in Georgia had the best way to respond after receiving a letter from President Donald Trump filled with grammatical errors: cover each error with highlighter and make multiple corrections to the paper as if it were a student's work.

Yvonne Mason, a teacher at an Atlanta school, took a photo of the letter, which Trump sent her about school safety and gun violence, posted it on Facebook. Thanks to the apogee she had on the social network, her act went viral until she made millions of people read her mistakes.

His message to the White House was clear and concise: "Have you tried [using] grammar and spelling?" Mason wrote at the top of the sheet, which was filled with notes written in blue ink.

Among the corrections, Mason circled the "N" in "Nation" twice on the page he writes first, "[the N] is not part of the construction of the proper name." For the second instance the teacher had already read enough and wrote: "OMG this is WRONG!"

The New York Times, which first reported on the letter, says Mason is a Democrat and a former high school English teacher, who retired last year and wrote to the president asking him to visit every family of the 17 who died in the shooting. in Parkland, Florida.

This is not the first time that the President has been criticized for spelling and syntax errors, particularly on Twitter. His spelling and lack of attention before publishing his tweets were teased last year with the word "covfefe" (to say coverage) that became a trend on social networks as everyone wondered "what have you tried to say?".

Earlier this month, Trump welcomed his wife and first lady Melania Trump home from the hospital and initially referred to her as "Melanie" before deleting and correcting the tweet about five minutes later.
