The reason why The Donald should misspell his wife’s name is unknown. Perhaps he had that pesky predictive text<\/a> active on his tweeting device.<\/p>\n However, the 45th President of the United States is not the first Republican Party occupant of that office of state to experience problems with the use of the English language.<\/p>\n The 41st occupant of that office, one George Herbert Walker Bush<\/a>, once quipped in an interview with Jim Lehrer on PBS<\/a>: “They used to say English was my second language.”<\/p>\n George H.W.’s son, George W., who was affectionately known as “Dubya<\/em>” and inaugurated as the USA’s 43rd president, was so inept with his alleged mother tongue that a term – Bushisms<\/em><\/a> – was coined to denote his ability to engage both tongue and brain when speaking in public. Bushisms are defined as Dubya’s unconventional statements, phrases, pronunciations, malapropisms<\/a> and semantic or linguistic errors in public speaking. Besides malapropisms, Bushism’s other common characteristics included the creation of neologisms, spoonerisms, stunt words and grammatically incorrect subject\u2013verb agreement.<\/p>\n To conclude this brief excursion into members of the Grand Old Party’s difficulties with English, who can forget former Vice-President James Danforth Quayle’s erroneous correction of a school student’s correct rendition of “potato<\/em>“? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
