This is exactly what we get when people aren't allowed to correct the grammar and typos of others without being called an asshole, when we were just trying to help save you the embarrassment of displaying your egregious stupidity to the public.
I appreciate that English is confusing with its homonyms. Relying on a phone or computer to correct it isn't proofreading, it's spell checking. I once went to an opera where there were dozens of spelling errors in the supertitles, all of which are other legit words. Piss-poor quality control.
So, ambidextrous and amphibious, because they sound remotely similar is a reason for a copy editor and a page editor to use amphibious incorrectly as a substitute for ambidextrous?
So ...since ambidextrous is the correct word .....i looked to see if the name on the byline was now deceased stand up comic , Norm Crosby . However , it is something that man with " all the best words " would say ...Daffy Don Trump .
Fun fact, he once brought a game to a halt when he faced an amphibious hitter and they couldn't decide whether the pitch would happen underwater or on land

Amphibious - able to live both on land and in water
Ambidextrous - using both hands with equal ease or dexterity
Which is in fact the test I do when someone misspells a word, see their post history to see if it's a chronic condition
Fwiw some words in everybody's repertoire were only encountered by ear, thus are misspelled, others, only by eye, mispronounced
The hiccup (unintellectual as a cellular mutation) would be on the local page editor
Granted I didn't get that either on the first look at the photo,
That perhaps not stupid shouldn't be called stupid
Then came your reply, with some third angle
Fuck me, the US has some serious educational issue - voting for Trump twice.
