WASHINGTON â€" Republican Mitt Romney says he is running for president in search of a better America.

This week, Romney’s campaign could have used a better speller.

The campaign released an iPhone app late Tuesday that features slogans supporting his campaign against Democratic President Barack Obama.

“We’re With Mitt,” read one. “American Greatness,” declared another.

“A Better Amercia,” proclaimed a third slogan, a misspelling that almost instantly became the subject of jokes on social media.

The typographical error was made on behalf of a candidate who has been known to sing America the Beautiful on the campaign trail.

“Mistakes happen,” Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul told MSNBC about the spelling slip.

A corrected version of the app was released by Apple yesterday.
