'Pot Master' spelling error on website: Are we smarter than a Primary 1 kid?

STOMPer Madeleine came across a spelling error on a government website, in which 'port master' was spelled as 'pot master'.

She said:

"I was browsing through the government website and I came across this hideous spelling mistake!

"The Port Master's Office is spelled as POT Master's office.

"I wonder who is the POT master? Or is it the Port Master? Attached is the print screen copy of the website.

"It is so embarrassing. I guess some civil servants in the Civil service did not pass PRIMARY 1 English spelling."

Typo only what.

Obviously a typo. Your grammer isn't that good too, to be fair. 'Are we smarter than a Primary 1 kid'

It should be Primary 1 student, or kid in Primary 1.

This web is about selling pot

Okay. Somebody typed too fast and made a typo. This doesn't mean they can't spell "pot". My goodness. I don't like typos either, but I don't insult those who make them.
