READING:

Everyone makes spelling mistakes, even with easy words. In the UK, a political party misspelled a word. It misspelled the name of its own country. The error was on the wrapper of a chocolate bar. The word "Britain" was spelt "Britian". The political party was holding its yearly conference. Everyone who went to the event got the bar of chocolate. The party said the mistake was because of a "printing error". It immediately stopped giving out the chocolate.

Social media laughed at the mistake. A journalist wrote that the party wants to lead Britain, but "can't spell it". A different party commented on the mistake. It said the political party "can't proofread five words". Earlier this year, another party misspelt the word "Scottish" on its election leaflets. The handout said, "Your Scotish Labour candidate," missing a "t". In 2024, the politician Lee Anderson's surname was incorrectly spelt as "Andersin".
