Mitt Romney's digital team debuted "With Mitt," an app that lets supporters share their support for the Republican presidential hopeful, on Tuesday. At first, the app received little fanfare.

By Tuesday night, however, the app's users had drawn attention to one glaring mistake: one of the 14 text overlays available within the app stated that Romney is for "A Better Amercia." Yes, you read that right: "Amercia."
Romney's digital team has already updated the app, but it is also learning a harsh lesson. On the Internet, nothing really ever goes away.
Not only was the term “Amercia” trending on Twitter in the U.S. Wednesday, but a viral Tumblr called Americia Is With Mitt! was born. We've put several highlights from the Tumblr in the gallery above.
Have another great one? Submit it below, and we may add it to our highlights. You can also tweet your photo to @MashableHQ with the hashtag #Amercia.
