Twitter embarrasses us all with Nik Wallenda wire walk misspelling




Nik Wallenda made it look so easy.

He walked right across one tightrope in Chicago Sunday night and then put on a blindfold and walked across another - all without a net or safety harness. He never wavered, never crouched down.

The one thing he decided NOT to do: Take a selfie. He had planned to do that halfway across the first walk, but said it was a little too windy.

and here's some of the correctly spelled reaction and admiration for Wallenda:
