Examples of incorrectly in a Sentence

1. Trump Trump:

   It wasn't until a week after my announcement that people started to totally distort these very easy to understand words. If there was something stated incorrectly, it would have been brought up immediately and with great enthusiasm.

2. Brock Long:

   I would never intentionally run a program incorrectly. Bottom line is if we made mistakes on the way a program is run, then we'll work with the OIG to get those corrected, doing something unethical is not part of my DNA, and it's not part of my track record and my whole entire career.

3. Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald:

   While I was in Los Angeles, engaging a homeless individual to determine his Veteran status, I asked the man where he had served in the military. He responded that he had served in special forces. I incorrectly stated that I had been in special forces, that was inaccurate and I apologize to anyone that was offended by my misstatement.

4. Indianapolis Colts:

   Like many families, my wife and I faced fertility challenges, and I sought medical assistance, i specifically asked the doctor if the medication he prescribed for me would present a problem for NFL drug testing, and unfortunately, he incorrectly told me that it would not. I made the mistake of not calling the NFL or NFLPA to double-check before I took the medication at the end of last season.

5. Guy Rosen:

   This is a bug in an anti-spam system, unrelated to any change in our content moderator workforce, we've restored all the posts that were incorrectly removed, which included posts on all topics - not just those related to COVID-19. This was an issue with an automated system that removes links to abusive websites, but incorrectly removed a lot of other posts too.
