Merriam-Webster Dictionary poked fun at President Trump on Friday after his Twitter account repeatedly misspelled the word "hereby."

The dictionary company shared its definition for the word:

OK, OK.

Here.

Bye. https://t.co/hLdwJNNI05

Trump repeatedly misspelled “hereby” in tweets Friday floating an "investigation" surrounding House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) 2010 meeting with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, which was attended by Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.

“I hear by demand a second investigation," Trump wrote in the first iteration of the tweet, which disappeared and was replaced with an identical tweet that used “hearby." That tweet also disappeared and was replaced by a third one that correctly spelled the word "hereby."

I hereby demand a second investigation, after Schumer, of Pelosi for her close ties to Russia, and lying about it. https://t.co/qCDljfF3wN

Trump was widely mocked on Twitter for the mishaps.
