In the screenshot from her Instagram story, which was first shared by @celeb_spellcheck back in August, Elyse can be seen sitting on her bed with the caption: “Wallah.”

According to popular Instagram account – which is dedicated to highlighting the unfortunate typos of Australia’s biggest social media stars – Elyse was actually trying to spell voila, though the context of her Instagram post can’t be confirmed as it has long expired.

The post resurfaced when it was shared on Twitter and gained a lot of attention.

“Thinking about this influencer who can’t spell voila,” @DietMountainDru wrote alongside the screenshot earlier this week, with his post getting more than 22,000 retweets and 342,000 likes.

The post soon got hundreds of responses, with several people explaining that “wallah” is an Arabic expression meaning “I swear by God” – and there was every chance Elyse had meant that.

Others pointed out that voila was commonly mispronounced and misspelt, and could have an unfortunate other meaning:

What kills me is people spelling it "viola"

Since in french, it can be read as a conjugated tense of the verb "violer", which means "to rape/desecrate" lmao

I forgot if “let’s” had an apostrophe or not in like 6th grade so for like 2 years any time I needed to use it I would put “let us” so I wouldn’t be wrong 🥲

The moral of the story is: be grateful you’re not famous enough for your next spelling mistake to go viral, and can Instagram Stories get an edit function? (Asking for a friend.)
