Trump's official inauguration poster has glaring typo

Source: The Hill

President Trump’s official inauguration portrait offered by the Library of Congress had a glaring typo on it, social media users pointed out Sunday evening.

The print of Trump, which was sold on the Library of Congress’s website, includes a quote from the president — but misspells “too” as “to.”

“No dream is too big, no challenge is to great. Nothing we want for the future is beyond our reach,” the quote reads on the poster.

The page selling the print was removed Sunday evening at some point between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m.

Everything is slapped together, not checked, no quality control. I don't ever remember seeing these sorts of dumb, easily avoided mistakes coming out of other administrations.

"No challenge to great" - except we can't even get off the ground.

It is perfectly correct grammatical Republicanese.

In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. A few prominent examples:

In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using of the three ways given:

A.) Two, Too, To
B. Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're

The Republicanese version of Robin Hood therefore starts with "In days of you're...."

The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row (hence the poster being in correct Republicanese).

In Republicanese, an apostrophe is used to form a plural, but it must be done at random, never systematically. For example, Bill and Hillary are "the Clinton's," but Bill, Chelsea and Hillary are "the Clintons." In Republicanese, either spelling is fine as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row.
