Twitter (@perezreverte)
Ethe writer Arturo Prez-Reverte, very active in social networks and always on the lookout for incorrect uses of languagecommented acidly a mistake in a TV show title.
In the program ‘Cuatro Al Da’ presented by Joaqun Prat in ‘Cuatro’ They misused the word “circumcised” when labeling information about “historic snowfall” caused by the tormenting Filomena.
“The cities that circumcise the capital have been practically cut off”, they labeled in ‘Cuatro Al Da’.
Arturo Prez-Reverte, the author of ‘Line of Fire’, used a screenshot of the ‘Cuatro’ banner to comment on it on Twitter.
“We have no escape. Besides bagging ourselves, we are circumcised.”, tweeted Arturo Prez-Reverte in a highly commented tweet.
We have no escape. In addition to bagging us, they circumcise us. pic.twitter.com/5ntgHtqJaI

On one occasion Arturo Prez Reverte came across the ingenuity and mastery of the situation of the National Police in a subject in which precisely the writer had the upper hand.
So his criticism of the expression used by the forces of order in one of his publications, understanding that his message loses value due to the desire to use an inclusive terminology, would end up having a response that would become a monumental zasca.
It all started when it seemed to Prez Reverte that using “us” in a tweet in which he tried to convey a serious message was ridiculous. Therefore, I would not hesitate to make it public to the police.
What the writer could not expect was that in his criticism he was going to dig his own grave, as the Local Police would be there to give it back to him in spades, in a way that was as ingenious as it was elegant.
Thanks, Arturo. We take note for future “tweets” https://t.co/CxOMsdLJJCpic.twitter.com/DzExw1dIgf

He accepted the suggestion, but with a load of joke, he took advantage of the answer to correctly write a word (tweet) that Prez Reverte had not known how to use according to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy.
In fact, I will attach a screenshot showing you two options that explain the correct use of language.
