Shahid becomes the butt of jokes after he says ‘marycom’ on Twitter
Shahid's typo error gets him famous on twitter again
When Shahid Kapoor took to a social networking site on Sunday to cheer for world champion MC Mary Kom a few hours before her Olympic boxing match, he didn’t know he would end up being the butt of all jokes! The actor tweeted: ‘?@shahidkapoor: Bust them up marycom ............ U r indias million dollar baby ....... (sic)’
From stand-up comedians to his followers on the site – a lot of people took a dig at the actor for the spelling error.

While some directly corrected him, saying it’s ‘Mary Kom’ and not ‘Marycom’, others went on to post sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek comments.
Few of them tweeted: ‘@TheUnRealTimes: dotcom, sitcom, intecom etc and now thanks to the great Shahid Kapoor, new word to enrich English vocabulary – marycom (sic)’; ‘@Geethu_Jose: Are you mad? She is not an internet domain.’; ?’@KainazM: Why is Shahid Kapoor trending? Did he make some typo again?’; ‘@sukhkarni: Thank god for there's no grammar in Shahid Kapoor's dance moves (sic).’ And, it went on and on.
The actor obviously soon realised his mistake and wrote: ‘Sorry its mary kom ..... Wat time is her match today ? (sic)’. But it did take a while for the storm to die and people to cut him some slack!
