Barbara Walters doesn’t know how to spell sex words.

Following in the footsteps of the Divine Lady O -who sent her first Tweet during a live taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show Friday – ABC’s Barbara Walters finally joined the Twitter trend on Monday’s Hot Topics edition of The View.

“I’m losing my Twitter verginity!” Walters wrote, using her BlackBerry. Umm, Babs, last we checked there was an ‘i’ –not an ‘e’–in the word “virginity?” Of course, it’s been a long time since you had yours, so you get a pass this time.

Barbara was corrected by none other than mother of three Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

“No one has written me on Twitter yet,” the veteran newswoman complained at the end of the show.
