A spelling mistake in a television programme that went viral – Minutouno.com

The problem is that one of the questions that had been formulated, the production had a spelling error. “In tennis, a volley is performed when the ball…”, was the question. The options were two: “Has voted” and “Not voted”.

The answers were misspelled, because vote, according to the RAE, is to “give your vote or tell your opinion in a meeting or governing body, or in a choice of people,” while throw, a word with which they should have been made of the possible responses, means “throw against a hard surface a ball or other resilient body to go back with impulse.”

social networks are not spared.
