You can never hide from the grammar patrol.

While Donald Trump has been criticized for his speeches having the grammar of a fifth-grader before, his tweets have taken the bar even lower -- and the internet has noticed.

Trump's tweet from July 24 about Bernie Sanders supporters, which has since been deleted, had quite a few errors that grammar and spelling lovers took offense to.

In particular, Donald's incorrect use of "there" (it should be "their") and incorrect spelling of "waist" (it should be "waste") are among the offensive phrases.

Several twitter users, including filmmaker Joe Carnahan, pointed out Trump's errors with no mercy.
