New Delhi : An assistant professor’s attempt to target Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on social media ended up drawing attention for an entirely different reason, with users focusing on her grammar instead of her political message. However, instead of triggering a political debate, the post quickly went viral because of its grammatical errors.
Several social media users highlighted that phrases such as “having two master’s degree” should have been written as “having two master’s degrees,” while “pursuing PhD” should have read “pursuing a PhD.” Others also suggested improving the sentence structure for clarity and correctness. The post soon attracted a flood of sarcastic reactions, with many calling it ironic that an English postgraduate had made such errors.
Many users pointed out that someone claiming postgraduate degrees in English and Education had made several basic mistakes in the very post intended to criticise Gandhi. Instead of sparking a political debate on Rahul Gandhi’s statement, the comment section quickly turned into an online English workshop. Social media users routinely highlighted that a postgraduate in English literature should have avoided basic syntax and pluralisation mistakes.
Several commentators rewrote her post sentence by sentence, pointing out that “master’s degree” needed pluralization to “master’s degrees,” while “pursuing PhD” lacked the essential indefinite article “a”. Others noted the irony of an assistant professor teaching higher education while making elementary composition errors, turning the entire thread into a trending viral moment.
