In what now seems to be an egregious oversight on the part of Apple, the scientific community this week flagged an anatomically incorrect squid emoji in the manner any good critic does: by mercilessly owning it on Twitter.
In what now seems to be an egregious oversight on the part of Apple, the scientific community this week flagged an anatomically incorrect squid emoji in the manner any good critic does: by mercilessly owning it on Twitter.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium pointed to the error this week in a tweet stating that Apple’s squid emoji was “upside down,” before threading a series of squid puns about the mistake.
Sarah McAnulty, a squid expert and Ph. D. candidate at the University of Connecticut, told Gizmodo by phone the error has everything to do with the placement of the squid’s siphon, which is on the wrong side of the squid’s body relative to its head and a mantle.
