Love him or loathe him, you have to concede that Piers Morgan is something of a master when it comes to dealing with Twitter feedback. Whether it’s snarky Spurs fans, gun-loving Americans or fellow journalists, Morgan is a regular and conspicuous target for hatred. His coping method, however, is rather brilliant. “I find that correcting trolls’ spelling is a very effective revenge tactic,” says Morgan. “But you have to know how to spell to execute it.” Here are a few of his best examples; illiterate hater-hordes of the internet, take note.
