In sad but true news, the following hashtag trended in Washington D.C. on Twitter: #WinterClasic. Yes, pound sign Winter (spelled right) Clasic (missing one s).
I know what you’re thinking: C’mon, Ian. There’s no way thousands upon thousands of people made the same mistake.
So let me show you some of my favorite tweets. The list includes some pretty famous people.
