misspelled_twitter

What This Program Does:

This Python program is designed to go through a users' tweets and find any misspelled words in their tweets using "PyEnchant" and "tweepy" Python libraries. This is mostly targeted at @realDonaldTrump

Inspiration:

This project was inspired by Trump's infamous "covfefe" tweet he posted, and deleted, back in May 2017. Of course, this wasn't the first time Trump has misspelled a word in one of his tweets. I've also been wanting to learn web scraping and Python. Thus, I created this project in which it goes through Trump's (or any public Twitter users') most recent tweets and finds incorrect words.

How to run it:

  1. Download the zip file, unzip it.
  2. cd into the directory
  3. Run this in your shell: 
    chmod +x main.py
python main.py
  4. Enter a twitter handle when prompted (only does public accounts) and the number of most recent tweets.
