Even a fifth-grader would know that the jugular 'vein' is, like all such veins in the human body, a part of the blood circulation system, while 'vain' is just how Pakistan's false rhetoric is — ineffectual and nugatory.
Keeping up with the country's trend of making spelling errors while attacking India on Twitter, Pakistan Army spokesperson Asif Ghafoor on Wednesday called Kashmir the jugular "vain" of Pakistan, inviting trolls.
Ghafoor was quoting a statement by Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa which reiterated that the country is fully "configured, prepared, and determined" to defend the "honour, dignity, and territorial integrity of motherland at all cost."

He said, "Kashmir is jugular vain of Pakistan and no compromise shall be made which denies right of self-determination to our brave Kashmiri brethren."
An amused Twitterati took no time to notice the botch-up and set on to teach the Pakistan Army spokesperson elementary-level spelling lessons, as even a fifth-grader would know the jugular 'vein' is, like all such veins in the human body, a part of the blood circulation system, while 'vain' is just how Pakistan's false rhetoric is — ineffectual and nugatory.

"The last time I had corrected your Latin. This time please allow me to correct your English. It's - jugular vein - and not "vain", wrote a user.

Even the auto correct prompts correctly the moment one types - jugular.
So this must have been typed out of ignorance of the correct spelling. pic.twitter.com/c7u56D1FbM
The user further went on to correct Ghafoor's silly mistake. "It's - jugular vein - and not "vain," he added, pointing out, "Even the auto-correct prompts correctly the moment one types - jugular."
"So this must have been typed out of ignorance of the correct spelling," he added.

The users correctly pointed out the mistake in the spelling and hinted at the fact that someone who has been granted an important post such as that of the Army spokesperson cannot even make basic distinctions in spellings.
Earlier, Pakistan's Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhary became the centre of all trolls when he spelt the very word satellite incorrect while trying to troll India after ISRO lost communication with its lander Vikram.
